27 and 28 August 2026
We are planning to organize some guided tours to various palaces and places of royal interest in Stockholm in the two days before the conference. This will include the two Royal Pantheons: Riddarholmskyrkan and the Royal Burial place at Haga – the latter only open to the public on Thursdays in the summer between 1pm and 3pm. Possible we will also visit Castle Gripsholm, and maybe Drottningholm, Ulriksdal or Tullgarn.
These two days will be optional extra activities, that are not included in the actual conference.
