Uppsala, with about 200.000 inhabitants, is situated 66 km (40 miles) north of
Stockholm (the capitol of Sweden) and 40 km north of the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. A bus service is available to take you from the airport to Uppsala. The conference site is within walking distance (about 15-25 minutes) from the city center, where
most hotels (detailed information availiable) are located. City buses run all day
between the hotels and the conference site. Hourly trains go to/from Stockholm daily.
The weather in Uppsala is usually sunny and warm in June (about 20 C, 69F). However, since cooler days and rain showers are not uncommon during the Swedish summer, a sweater and a raincoat can be useful items to pack along.
