Things to do while in Stockholm

Stockholm is great to discover by foot. It is filled with history, in its architecture, in its museums, and in the medieval charm of its Old Town. Stockholm is not only beautiful and historic, it is also modern and urban, yet still very close to nature. Water is an ever-present feature in the city where lake and sea meet. Parks and green areas are all around and the atmosphere is refreshingly open and welcoming.

Cullberg is a world renowned dance company in Sweden. In Sylph, the choreographer Halla Ólafsdóttir starts out from the mythological creature the sylph. They walk in and out of the ballet’s mysterious forest, dancing, whispering, rustling, knocking and chewing, like creatures or animals. A ”love-hate-relationship” with classical ballet, and a mix of ”high and low culture”.

The company is extending a unique offer to World Summit participants, providing a 25 percent discount on tickets (210 SEK each). A maximum purchase of 2 tickets applies.
