1 Examples of group arrangements in the Stockholm area Dinner at Tullgarns Slott Travel by bus or boat to the beautiful Tullgarn Castle, situated on the Baltic shore and surrounded by the scenic English park. The destination is situated an hours bus ride south from central Stockholm. Tullgarn Castle was completed in 1720 and has been a royal country palace since the 1770s. In the English park, we find the Orangery and nearby, to the east, are the biological dams - a very beautiful park as well. It is difficult for many visitors to believe that these ten dams with water stairs is the treatment plant for wastewater from the entire palace area and all the residents. Programme suggestion: Welcome drink at the Orangery Guided tour at the biological dams, which purifies all the water for the castle and residents in the castle area Guided tour at the castle Dinner at Tullgarn Inn - an enjoyable wild boar evening: The dinner includes barbecuing of wild boards outsite Queen Victoria s Royal Stabel followed by a buffet with suitable accessories served inside the house. Tullgarn is known for its large wild boar stand and a lot of hunting takes place in the area. The Swedish King himself is involved regularly. The dinner is environmentally friendly since there is a short transport distance of the raw materials (the animals come from the forests around Tullgarn). The dinner includes: Barbequed wild boar Buffet ½ bottle of wine or 2 bottles of beer Coffee Avec Ice cream After the programme, the group will return to Stockholm by bus

Skansen offers a beautiful environment with a fantastic view over Stockholm. The district contains approximately 150 cultural buildings from different epochs of time and different parts of Sweden. In addition, a selection of Nordic animals, including the moose, wolves and the bear tends to attract great interest. The best of Skansen is that it is a living museum where you, for example, may try to perform the chores that was done in the past, visit the pharmacist in the old fashioned pharmacy, have a coffee break at the elk park, etc. Programme suggestion: On arrival you will be divided into smaller groups where each group may participate in activity trials for one hour.

3 Below are some suggestions for theme tours in Stockholm If the group constitutes less than persons, we recommend that transportation in Stockholm should be by foot, public bus or subway. Royal Tour Visiting of the Royal Palace and the display of selected parts. Then visit to the Great Church where the wedding between Crown Princess Victoria and her Daniel will stand. Perhaps we can receive some information about the wedding? Afterwards, boat or bus ride to the artistic and beautifully situated Drottningsholm Castle where King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia lives. We enjoy a guided tour of the park, a view of the well preserved 1700-century theater as well as lunch. Shopping and Design Tour The tour begins with a visit to Svenskt Tenn, a shop of ancient lineage, offering everything from classic Swedish textiles and furniture to appliances. We get a presentation of Swedish design and well known designers as well as the opportunity to enjoy all the beauty in the shop. The visit is followed by a stroll to Nordic Crystal, one of Sweden's oldest shops of crystal. The shop has a large selection of, for example, Orrefors and Kosta Boda. The morning is rounded off with lunch and a guided shopping tour that is tailored to your needs we offer everything from clothing to antiques. If it s of any interest we would be happy to arrange a visit at the first big IKEA store in the world, where we get to hear about the vision Ingvar Kamprad had when he started the company. Highlights of Stockholm During this tour, we visit many famous places in Stockholm. Sites include the Kaknäs Tower, with its panoramic view over Stockholm, followed by a guided tour of the fascinating Vasa Museum. We also visit Skansen, where we can enjoy the beautiful environment while visiting cultural buildings and have the opportunity to closely familiarize themselves with Nordic animals such as moose, wolves, lynx animals and more. A lunch buffet is served on Solliden, with views over the Stockholm harbour inlet. Following the lunch buffet, we take the Djurgården Ferry to the Old Town, where the day is rounded off with a stroll through the narrow alleys combined with a guided tour telling us about how life differed in the neighbourhood between today and when it was built.

4 Eco tour A guided tour of the Eco Park, the world's first national city park. It consists of the royal parks Djurgården, Haga and Ulriksdal, which are united around Brunnsviken. The aim of the concept is to contribute with a sustainable development in Stockholm while preserving a royal green park with a unique mix of nature and culture. The group can choose to go by bike or walk. Participants may bring a picnic basket for a coffee break in the beautiful environment. obel Prize winner for a day Our tour begins in the Nobel Museum, located at the former Stock Exchange building at Stortorget in the Old Town. As Nobel Prize winners, we get a presentation of the program, and a tour of the Nobel Museum. Afterwards, we will have a 15 minutes stroll to the City Hall. When in place, we visit the magnificent Blue Hall where the Nobel dinner is served. In addition we will enter the extremely beautiful Golden Hall where the Nobel guests dances well into the night. Our Nobel day can be ended either in the City Hall tower, with a magnificent view of Stockholm, or we can take a drink in the tower and then enjoy a Nobel menu served at the Nobel porcelaine in the historic restaurant, located in the City Hall basement. The arrangement is an exquisite experience with both visual and tasteful pleasures. Green Tech Tour The tour can be booked as an individual event or in combination with any of the above arrangements. Displays and meetings are arranged in the Green Tech Building where interested policy makers get a good understanding of what Sweden's leading companies in the energy and environmental technologies can offer. Meetings can also be booked with other companies or public institutions in Sweden that are of interest from an environmental or business perspective. Please note that the arrangements at Green Tech Building are normally reserved for groups of decision makers or buyers.

5 Archipelago Tour We board our boat in central Stockholm and then choose different destinations depending on preference. For those who want to experience the beautiful Swedish summer flora and visit a centuries-old archipelago homestead, we recommended that the tour goes to the scenic Ängsö. If the group rather prefer fishing, we can arrange a theme with dinner prepared fresh fish, served in a cozy boathouse in the outer archipelago. For slightly larger groups who want archipelago combined with activities, special arrangements can be made. For example, excitement and good food served in environments such as wilderness camps and ancient forts can be arranged.
