Ground transportation[edit]

Tickets can be bought on the bus or on the FlixBus website.[6] The nearest public bus stop, (about 2 km away) has services to and from the centre of Örebro. It is served by bus 620 on weekdays and bus 600 at weekends.[7] Other transport alternatives will likely involve a car or taxi.
