The Stockholm Summer
LPMR-09 will take place in the middle of the
Swedish summer.  This may be a perfect opportunity for you
to come to Stockholm for longer than only for the workshop.
For those that wish to explore the city of
Stockholm and its surroundings on their own or with their families,
there is a lot to do and to discover.
A good starting point may be the official tourist sites
Stockholm Visitors Board
and Visit Sweden.
Information is also available from general travel sites like
lonely planet or
timeout.
Popular activities include long walks through the various quarters of Stockholm,
and among the local cafeteries, restaurants and pubs. There
are the Vasa Museum,
the Skansen Open Air Museum and a lot
of other culture.
Try guided city tours
on foot,
by bus,
by boat,
or from hot air balloons.
 Getting around
Stockholm has an excellent public transport system,
covering both downtown and the surroundings.
For details check the information about
ticket options,
time tables, etc..
The boats of
Waxholmsbolaget
take you out to the achipelago.
Other boat tours and trips are provided by
Strömma.
Accomodation
If you plan to visit Stockholm and its surrounding before or
after the LPMR workshop, one option is to stay at the
conference hotel.
See the registration page for details.
If you are looking for a hotel downtown, please check general websites
for hotel search
like www.hotels.com or
www.hotels-stockholm.com.
It can be a challenge to find hotel rooms in Stockholm in summer.
It can be an idea to check directly with hotel chains like
Choice Hotels,
First Hotels,
Rica Hotels,
Scandic Hotels, or
Radisson Hotels.
