Travel from airport
Most international travellers will arrive at Arlanda Airport. From there, travel by train (Arlanda Express) or bus (Flygbussarna) to Stockholm Central Station. The train is fast but somewhat costly. If you are staying at Elite Palace you may considering taking the buses because they have a stop very close to that hotel ("Norra Stationsgatan").
Public transport
Travel in and around Stockholm with buses, subway ("T-bana"), commuter trains, and the occasional tramway is easy with a single prepaid travel card. Buy this in the "SL Center" at the Central Station or in most newsagent's shops such as "Pressbyrån". A 7-day ticket would suit most attendants of the conference. Buying tickets at the subway gates is very expensive and it is not possible at all on buses.
Going to Albanova
The workshop is held in the main building of Albanova University Centre. The main entrance is in a big round part of the building with an astronomical dome on top. The street address which you can feed in your navigational device is "Roslagstullsbacken 21, Stockholm".
We have prepared a map for you. Please refer to this to understand the following.
