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