Skeppsbron, Gamla stan (map; details) |
Conference dinner
August 20, 2015
The conference dinner will take place on board of the Riddarfjärden cruise ship on Thursday, August 20th from 18:00 to 22:00.
The cruise ship departs and returns from the Skeppsbron pier, which is located right in front of the Royal castle in Gamla Stan.
The conference dinner consists of a welcome drink, buffet dinner accompanied by wine and dessert with coffee or tea. Participants are welcome to buy additional drinks at their own expense at the ship's bar, that will remain open after the dinner.
How to get there?
For getting to Skeppsbron from Albanova on Thursday 20th we recommend the following route:
- Take the bus number 61 from Ruddammen towards Hornsberg at 16:39, 16:54 or 17:09.
- Get off at the bus stop on Roslagsgatan (5 bus stops).
- Walk approx. 20 meters to the stop of the bus number 2.
- Take the bus number 2 from Roslagsgatan towards Sofia (every 5 to 7 min).
- Get off at the Slottsbacken stop (8 bus stops).
- The Skeppsbron pier is across the street.
Alternatively, Skeppsbron is located within walking distance from the metro stations of Slussen, Gamla Stan and Kungsträdgården.
