The airport is situated 11 km (7 mi) outside the city centre, on the island of Frösön.
Åre Östersund Airport (previously named Östersunds flygplats) is an international airport and the ninth biggest in Sweden with roughly 390,000 passengers in 2005.
The airport is one of few Swedish airports with incoming foreign charter traffic and the only one with considerable economic growth in that sector.

The European route E14 runs through Östersund from Trondheim to Sundsvall and briefly merges with the European route E45 (referred to as Inlandsvägen locally) coming from the north.
The two roads are later split in Brunflo where E14 continues heading east and E45 turns south again.

Östersund has passenger rail services to and from, mainly, Sundsvall and Stockholm.
Norrtåg operates Mittbanan from Storlien to Sundsvall.
Inlandsbanan runs in the same directions as European Route 45.
Östersund is connected to Stockholm via long distance SJ 3000 (higher-speed trains), InterCity and night train.
There are overnight services to and from Gothenburg and, seasonally, Malmö.
Local company Stadsbussarna i Östersund (literally: the City Buses in Östersund) has nine routes in the city.

As Östersund is located at shores of Storsjön, (English: "the great lake"), it also has a harbour.
There is also a harbour on the Frösö side of the strait.
Several bridges span across Storsjön connecting Östersund with communities nearby, Frösöbron across Östersundet, Vallsundsbron from Frösön across Vallsundet to Annersia "the other side" and Rödöbron from Frösön to Rödön in Krokom Municipality.
