How to find GIH The visiting address is Lidingövägen 1, 114 33 Stockholm Location in Google Maps Parking spaces are limited and require a special permit. We therefore recommend using public transportation or parking along Valhallavägen when visiting GIH.

Late June brings long, luminous evenings — daylight often stretches well past 9 pm, giving you the chance to enjoy the city even after the day’s sessions are over. Stockholm’s unique setting on the water means you are never far from nature. A short boat ride takes you into the archipelago, with its thousands of islands, perfect for an afternoon excursion or a leisurely evening cruise, very close to the city you’ll find Fjäderholmarna . Within the city, you can explore the historic charm of Gamla Stan, stroll the green parks and museums (e.g., the Vasa Museum ) of Djurgården, or enjoy the vibrant cafés and viewpoints of Södermalm. The city is alive with cultural events, exhibitions, and festivals during this season, making it an ideal time to combine professional exchange with leisure and discovery.
