Location and Travel
Airport and Air Transportation
All international flights to Stockholm arrive at Arlanda Airport.
Airport buses leave Arlanda Airport every 5-10 minutes for the City
Terminal in central Stockholm. The bus ride takes approximately 45
minutes and costs SEK 60 (January 1999). The City Conference Centre is
within a few minutes walking distance from the City Terminal. You will
also find taxis just outside the Arrival Hall at Arlanda. Most taxi
companies have a fixed rate of SEK 400 (January 1999) from Arlanda
Airport to central Stockholm (the price from Stockholm to Arlanda is
435 SEK). It is strongly recommended to ask the price before entering
a taxi. [SEK 100 = USD 12,50]
Public Transportation
Stockholm's public transportation system is safe, very efficient and
convenient. It consists of buses, trains and underground. In the city,
hotels, museums, shops and restaurants are generally within walking
distance, which makes Stockholm an ideal city for strolls.
Venue
The 16th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence will
be held at the City Conference Centre/Norra Latin which is one of
Europe's largest and most beautiful congress and conference
facilities. It is located in the center of Stockholm, at walking
distance from the Central Railway Station and Air Bus Terminal (see
map on the City Conference Centre web page). Norra Latin, the
magnificent old grammar school in Florentine Reinassance style from
1880, has recently been renovated. It now offers all conference
amenities and provides an excellent setting for IJCAI-99.
Visas
A visa for entering Sweden is required from certain countries. Please
check with the Swedish Consulate in your home country for further
