Locations and distances

We're well connected

In many respects Sweden in general and the BASE region in particular has a very well developed infrastructure. Whether you come or go by car, bus, boat, train or plane you will find that convenient travel arrangements will facilitate both your business and your leisure life here.

A mere one-hour passage by high-velocity train will take you to Stockholm's Arlanda international airport from where you can reach any number of European and overseas destinations.

Situated a mere two-hour drive north of Stockholm, the region has still more advantages from a communication point of view, where fast-moving transports do not have to suffer from heavy traffic loads, for example. Train and bus networks will fast and easily provide you with the necessary links to your market.

The port of Gävle is the natural connection where bulky goods or cargo has to be shipped to the international market. It is, in fact, one of the largest ports in Sweden for despatching e.g goods such as forestry products.
