LOCATION:
Quality Hotel Globe is located in the south part of Stockholm, right next to the Globe/Avicii Arena and the Tele2 / 3Arena (Tele2 Arena changes name to 3Arena from Jan 1, 2025).
The hotel's address is Arenaslingan 7, Johanneshov.
We play in a hall/conference room called Galaxen (located ABOVE the main entrance, on top of the escalators)


Galaxen conference room, where we play.

The nearest subway station (450m from the hotel) is Globen located just south of Stockholm City.
Take the green subway line T19 (southbound towards Hagsätra if you are coming from Stockholm City center).
From T-Centralen (where last year's venue Waterfront is located and all subway lines + national train network + airport buses connect), it's a 10 minute ride (6 stations) to Globen Subway station.
The light railway Tvärbanan (operated by "SL", Stockholm's Local Public transport company, who also runs the subway) also stops at the Globen Station.

For info about Stockholm Public Transport: www.sl.se. It's easy to pay for your SL tickets by tapping your contactless payment card / phone when starting your trip.

If you fly to Arlanda (Stockholm's main airport), the fastest way (18 minutes) to get to Stockholm City is with the airport train Arlanda Express

PARKING: :
There are several parking lots in the area + indoor parking at the nearby Globen shopping mall.
