The most popular option is public transport. Buses from the local company Dalatrafik run regularly between Avesta centre and Krylbo station. The bus journey (for example, route 31) takes about 10–15 minutes. The stop is located right in front of the station building.

You can also use a taxi. The taxi rank is located at the main entrance. The trip from the city centre will take 5–7 minutes. If you prefer walking, the route from Avesta centre takes about 40 minutes (approximately 3.5 km), but this can be tiring with heavy luggage. For motorists, parking is provided near the station.

Avesta Krylbo Station provides passengers with a basic set of services for a comfortable wait for their train.

The historic building houses a spacious waiting hall with seating where you can take shelter from the weather. There are usually no ticket counters with live operators here, so tickets should be purchased in advance online or via ticket machines installed at the station. They accept bank cards.

For the convenience of travellers, toilets (usually paid, card payment only) are available, as well as free Wi-Fi (SJ or Trafikverket network). There are automatic luggage lockers of various sizes. For passengers with limited mobility, lifts are provided to descend into the tunnel leading to the platforms.

The choice of dining places directly inside the station building is limited. There may be a small kiosk or cafeteria operating inside with a basic assortment: coffee, soft drinks, sandwiches, and pastries. There are also vending machines for a quick snack (chocolates, water).

If you have time (30–40 minutes) before your train, it is recommended to go into town. In the Krylbo area, within walking distance of the station (5–10 minutes walk along Stationsgatan or Avestavägen), you can find pizzerias and small eateries where the average bill is quite reasonable. For a substantial meal, it is better to eat in Avesta city centre before heading to the station.

Avesta Krylbo Station has a rich history and is an important monument of Swedish railway architecture. The current monumental red brick building was constructed in the early 1900s, designed by the renowned architect Folke Zettervall.

The station was originally designed as a major hub connecting lines from Stockholm to the north and into Dalarna. The architectural style of the building reflects the spirit of National Romanticism, characteristic of public buildings of that time. Over the decades, the station has been modernised to meet modern safety and comfort standards, while carefully preserving its historical appearance, which is so valued by tourists and locals alike.

To ensure your trip goes smoothly, we recommend arriving at the station at least 15–20 minutes before your train departs. This will give you time to calmly find the correct platform and use the lift or stairs.

Tickets: It is highly recommended to buy tickets in advance via the SJ app or website, as there may be no staff at the station to assist with the machines. An electronic ticket on your smartphone is the most convenient option.

Weather: In winter, it can be windy and cold on the platforms, so dress warmly if you plan to wait for the train outside for a long time. Inside the station, it is warm and safe. If you have a late transfer, please consider that the infrastructure around the station quiets down at night, so stock up on water and food in advance.
