If you fly from Arlanda airport in Stockholm, you land at Örnsköldsvik airport within one hour. The Bothnia Railway is now under construction which will provide a rail link direct from Örnsköldsvik´s town centre in 2010. Until then Mellansel is the nearest railway station.

If you come by car, the E4 highway runs right through the town. Coaches offer good links along the Stockholm - Luleå route and also go run inland services, e.g to Östersund or Sollefteå.

If you come in your own pleasure boat, you can make land at the guest harbour pier just one block away from the town square “Stora torget".
