Works as a day trip

On Fridays with the 19:45 home to London Heathrow: you're in Stockholm 10:38 to 17:37 and the market is open until 17:00. About 2 hours of that is after dark.

Getting to Stockholm and back in a day

No same-day return flight from the UK in the saved winter timetable yet.

Airport to the centre: Arlanda Express 18 min, 340 SEK (about €30; 199 SEK booked early).

Getting around: SL 24-timmarsbiljett, adult, 180 SEK.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 18 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
