Weekend in Stockholm

Stockholm is described as the “Venice of the north” with the City surrounded by waterways, a historical old town, Gamla Stan, with its fine Royal Palace and narrow streets full of history and the seat of the Swedish Academy for the Nobel prize for literature.

The IWFS Europe Africa event will let you sample all of this. For those of you already booked on the Baltic cruise, spend a few extra days to take in the sights and atmosphere as well as Stockholm’s culinary delights. For those of you not on the cruise, this is a great opportunity to visit one of the most attractive cities in Northern Europe.

We will be based in the Haymarket by Scandic, a hotel opened in May 2016 with a 1930s and Greta Garbo themes – rest assured its facilities are very modern! We have negotiated rates for 3 types of room, all including breakfast; initial booking will be through IWFS, but payment for the room will be direct with the hotel.

There will be a certain amount of walking to and between venues.

The cost for this weekend event, excluding the hotel and travel to and from Stockholm, will be £695 for each member (£735 for non-members), based on current post-Brexit exchange rates. If there is a significant change in the exchange rate between now and the date for final payment, the cost may be adjusted.
