Congress in Stockholm

While attending a congress, you should not miss the chance to get a taste of what Stockholm has to offer by way of sights, museums and activities, like an excursion out to the peaceful and stunningly beautiful archipelago.

Local merits

Stockholm is a city that has it all and something for everybody! One sight you mustn’t miss is the city’s central landmark, the Stockholm City Hall. Within its hallowed walls, the annual Nobel Banquet is held in the Blue Hall. Visitors can take guided tours and ride the elevator—or walk the many stairs—up the tower for a breathtaking view.

Gamla stan (The Old Town), the oldest district in Stockholm, is another must-see. It is one of the best preserved medieval city centers in the world. The picturesque passageways are lined with shops selling crafts, antiques and art, and when you tire of strolling, there are cozy cafés and eateries close at hand. Gamla stan is also home to the stately Royal Palace, where a guided tour will usher you through the history of Stockholm.

Boarding a sightseeing boat is the perfect way to experience Stockholm from the water. You could take a tour around the city, or opt for an excursion to the beautiful archipelago. And make sure not to miss the recreational area Djurgården, where you can pay a visit to the magnificent maritime Vasa Museum, the hopping Abba The Museum or the traditional open-air Skansen.

Green get-togethers

Stockholm is the perfect destination for green get-togethers. The first winner of the ”European Green Capital award”, Stockholm is devoted to addressing questions of sustainability and to finding suitable solutions. For getting around the city, for example, you might ride a bus running on biofuel, or take one of the many eco-friendly taxis owning the right of way over other vehicles. Or you might choose to take a walking path, or rent a bike and pedal the fine bicycle lanes throughout the city. Stockholm has the highest share of eco-friendly hotels in the world, many of which even offer ecological dining. So Stockholm has everything you’ll need to make your congress or conference 100% green!
