Shalewhale Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I've got some time off work next month and I thought i'd treat myself to an Elitserien match just for the hell of it. I was thinking of going to the Vargana - Luxo match on the 20th. As i understand it, Varagana are based at Norrkoping?? So i was planning on flying into S'holm Skavsta which is at Nykoping and getting the train to Norrkoping. Beyond that I need some advice as to how to get to the track, as I can't find any on Vargarna's website and my Swedish is a bit lacking. Any hints on reasonably inexpensive hotels also welcome!

Anders Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Don´t know if there are any Norrköping people on the forum who knows the town inside out, but I´ve gathered some information via a couple of websites. * TRAVEL BY BUS For information regarding bus routes, visit the link below. Big map of Norrköping bus routes (www.ostgotatrafiken.se) From Resecentrum (Travel Center) take number 3 bus towards "Klockaretorpet", leave at stop "Hörsalsparken", just a few stops away from Travel Center. Route 3 is one of the main routes for bus traffic in Norrköping and seems to go every ten minutes. Route 3 time table is available at: www.ostgotatrafiken.se (route 3 time table) After leaving bus 3 at "Hörsalsparken", enter "Repslagaregatan" (street) and shortly you´ll find the "Hörsalen" stop where you´ll wait for bus 116 towards "Lindö". Leave at stop "Kråkvilan" and then you´ll have a five minute walk to the track. The bus seems to go every 20 minute in the afternoon/evening. Route 116 time table is available at: www.ostgotatrafiken.se (route 116 time table) After the meeting, bus 116 heads back towards the city center every 30 minutes later in the evening. * TRAVEL BY TAXI Taxibil i Östergötland +46 11 10 01 00 Vikbolandets Taxi +46 11 16 00 00 Taxikurir +46 11 14 00 00 The stadium ain´t that far from either the city center or travel center so it shouldn´t be that expensive. My choice would be taxi even though it´s more expensive than bus, but it´s much more convenient (sp?). * DESTINATION NORRKÖPING The tourist site for Norrköping is available at: Destination Norrköping (English version) There you´ll find all possible accomodations, hotel, B&B´s or whatever you like. Centric Hotel, http://www.centrichotel.se (English version available), looked a good bet, a single bedroom for 465 SEK (approx. £34) during summer period 17/6-8/8 isn´t particulary expensive IMO. The hotel is located in the city center as well. There you go, that´s some information, if you need more, just ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
