Just a short warning - make sure that the taxi has the sticker with the flat price on it.

Taxis are free to fix their prices in Sweden and some of them do charge extortionate rates (usually it is the independant ones, not those affiliated with big company like Taxikurir, etc.). They gouge tourists from countries where prices are fixed by law such as France or the UK. Usually tourists take the first one in the lane, while in fact you can compare the prices and take anyone you like .

In Malmö, when I was not aware of this, a taxi charged me 780 SKK from the railway station to the airport while the standard rate is half that... I paid to learn as we say!
