Travel

The closest international airport to the conference venue is Arlanda (ARN), about 35 km North of the Stockholm City Center.

To get from Arlanda to Stockholm, you can either take the train, the bus, or a taxi. The train is called Arlanda Express, leaves every 15 minutes and arrives at the Central Station (T-Centralen) within 20 minutes. The price is SEK 240 one way, or 460 round trip. The busses are called Flygbussarna, leave every 10 minutes, and arrive at T-Centralen within 40 minutes. The price is approx SEK 120 one-way, you can save SEK 20 by buying the ticket in advance online. The busses also stop at other places before T-Centralen. The price for a taxi to the city center is about SEK 500.

Directions to the institute with maps can be found at this website. The closest subway station is Tekniska Högskolan on the red line direction Mörby Centrum. You find a subway map here.

Currency and Language

The Swedish currency is SEK (Sweden Krona), *not* the Euro. In most places you can pay with major credit cards or debit cards in the Maestro system. If you want to change foreign money, it is recommendable to do this already at arrival either at the airport or at T-Centralen.

Almost everybody in the Swedish capital speaks English.

Getting Around

Stockholm has a very well functioning public transportation system with subways and busses. You can get tickets at every subway station in stores called Pressbyrån.
