After 52 years of waiting, it will finally be time to
welcome the orienteers of Sweden and the world to our
beautiful capital in 2027! Perhaps Stockholm needs
no further introduction but we would still like to tell
you about the Stockholm we hope you’ll have time to
explore between the competitions. We’re very proud
that Stockholm has so much to offer in terms of culture,
entertainment, architecture, food and nature and we’re
looking forward to sharing this with you.
30,000 islands and a national city park
Take an archipelago boat from one of the quays in the city centre
and sail out to explore Stockholm’s islands! Farms, ruined forts,
rich cultural history, old mine workings, caves, award-winning
pubs and, of course, plenty of beaches. Both rocky bathing areas
and sandy beaches are only a boat tour away, and the city centre
itself is built on islands, each with its own character. And did you
know that Stockholm has the world’s first national city park?
Experience something different in Stockholm
You might have heard of Gröna Lund, Skansen and our biggest
museums. But there’s so much more to discover! Why not challenge
your fear of heights with a rooftop tour of Gamla Stan (Stockholm’s
old town)? Let your legs recover and experience the city from the
water by kayaking in the city centre. Or, if the weather is suited to
indoor activities, why not visit one of our newer museums and experiences?
Our picks in the city centre, which are also near each other,
are the Avicii Experience, where you can test your DJ skills and sing
VR karaoke, and the popular Paradox Museum, where your perspective
is literally turned upside down… and much, much more.
If you would like to read more about everything Stockholm has
to offer, go to visitstockholm.se. We promise you, we have something
to do, see or experience for everyone. The difficult thing will
be to fit it all in!
O-Ringen Stockholm 2027
Planning work for O-Ringen in Stockholm is already in full
swing. What can we expect from an O-Ringen in a big
city? Well, there will be an O-Ringen City close to central
Stockholm, with camping pitches and O-Ringen Square.
Accommodation in O-Ringen City will be within easy reach
of the city centre using the metro or bus, and it’s not far to
cycle, either.
We are currently assessing our various transport options
– we want as many arenas as possible to be accessible by
local trains, the metro or bus. Our ambition is to be able to
use Stockholm’s local transport network for all journeys to
and from the competitions.
“The terrain around Stockholm is challenging and is
characterised by its many details and sharp contour shapes.
We have many possible areas and we are now working
on establishing which ones will be best for O-Ringen
competitors,” says Ulf Lennheden, Chair of the Association
council.
During our visit to Stockholm there will be wonderful
opportunities to explore a wide range of attractions, which
you can read about on this page.
All in all it will be a fantastic O-Ringen week, where
challenging but easily accessible terrain is combined with all
the attractions of the big city.
