For travelers with a layover in Ronneby, the proximity of RNB to the city center is a real gift. Getting into town takes around 50 minutes via Local Bus (Blekingetrafiken), and we’ve mapped out the logistics so you can spend less time planning and more time exploring.
Important Details Before You Go
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at RNB:
First, verify that you can enter Sweden — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the Local Bus (Blekingetrafiken) takes about 50 minutes into Ronneby, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — SEK is the currency here. ATMs near the arrivals area typically offer better rates than the exchange counters.
Things to Do During Your Layover
For a layover visit to Ronneby, we’d suggest Ronneby Brunnspark and Heliga Kors Kyrka (Holy Cross Church). Neither requires a full day, and both give you a real taste of the area.
A calm place to walk around and decompress before your next flight. Respectful visitors are generally welcome for a quick look.
Not every layover calls for a city trip. If you’re staying at RNB, check out RNB Airport Café & Bar or Airport Shop to keep yourself occupied.
