The Marketplace at Stockholm Arlanda Airport is complete – all shops and restaurants are open

Over the past five years, Stockholm Arlanda Airport has carried out a major investment in food, drink and shopping, replacing and broadening the offering in Terminal 5 to meet the expectations of the airport’s passengers. The result of the investment, which is the largest in Arlanda’s history, is a Marketplace covering 11,000 square metres, right next to the airport’s modern security control in Terminal 5, where popular, well-known brands sit alongside new concepts. Many popular Swedish operators have moved in, and a brand-new concept with a focus on Nordic gifts has emerged since the first section of the Marketplace opened in autumn 2023.

“Our vision for the new Marketplace has been to provide a shopping, food and drink experience with an element of the unexpected that will leave an impression on passengers. The investment builds on Swedavia’s long-term commercial strategy, with its focus on variety, renewal and value for money. We want a wide variety of restaurants serving food from all over the world, and shops with a price range to suit all pockets. The Marketplace will offer something for all tastes and all budgets,” says Charlotte Ljunggren. 

Interest from commercial operators looking to establish a presence in the new Marketplace has been strong, given the highly attractive location at Arlanda, which nearly 23 million passengers in 2024. Although there has been a major focus on having a broad offering, Swedish and Nordic influences have also played a prominent role in the design of the Marketplace.

“At Swedavia, we are proud to operate leading airports in the Nordic region and we strive to reflect the flavour and character of the region, including in the shopping and dining experiences at all our airports. At Arlanda and the Marketplace this can be seen in the form of the many local operators and locally produced goods that can be found there. We have focused on strengthening our Swedish brands in response to the strong demand for more Nordic, Swedish and local products, both to keep and to give as gifts. This is now one of many things we are pleased we can offer our passengers,” says Charlotte Ljunggren.

The shops and restaurants in the Marketplace have been opening in stages since autumn 2023. In May this year the Marketplace received international recognition in the form of the ‘Commercial Space of the Year 2025’ award from Nordic Commercial Spaces & Communities (NCSC). This industry organisation has recognised the Marketplace for its professional development work and creative business model that focuses on consumer benefits and competitiveness, which in turn creates an attractive, flexible and inviting environment for shopping, dining and services.

“The ‘Commercial Space of the Year 2025’ award is a ringing endorsement of our investment strategy. We have also received very positive feedback from our passengers and, in fact, customer satisfaction during the period March to May this year has increased by nine per cent compared with the same period two years ago when the Marketplace was under construction. This gives us confidence that we are heading in the right direction in our redesign of Arlanda and that we have succeeded in creating a completely new and unique dining and shopping experience here at the airport. We now look forward to welcoming passengers to Arlanda and the Marketplace this summer and beyond,” says Charlotte Ljunggren.
