THE VENUE


{Röda Sten} is a cultural landmark that lies at the sea entrance of the city. Once housing a huge industrial boiler, Röda Sten is an exceptional center of the arts today.The goal of Project Röda Sten is to develop the surrounding area into a Nordic cultural center for art, theatre, music and dance and to hold international exhibitions of the highest caliber. Inside Röda Sten, a dynamic space offers opportunities to create works of large scale while the outside of the building remains a free zone for the graffiti artists of Göteborg. This unconventional exhibition space sets the scene for daring, ground -breaking explorations to take place.

TRAVEL
To fly to Göteborg, the most common route is by Landvetter Airpoirt which is serviced by most major airlines. Most major European airlines have flights to Göteborg. Information about the major airport, Landvetter and which companies fly there can be found at Göteborg Landvetter Airport. If you fly from outside Europe, you will have to change flights somewhere. Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Munich, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Paris are common places to change at.

From Landvetter, the city center is a short bus ride with the Flygbuss {70 SEK} or taxi ride {300-400 SEK} away. Local bus network to and from Gothenburg-Landvetter's airport is also available. This service is run by Västtrafik.

Two new low budget airlines fly Stockholm - Göteborg. They both use Arlanda Airport in Stockholm and Landvetter Airport in Göteborg. {Fly Nordic and Fly Me}

Low-price flights are also available through Ryan Air to Säve Airport, which has a bus service to central Göteborg.

By train, Göteborg is about 3-4 hours from Stockholm {Sweden}, Copenhagen {Denmark} or Oslo {Norway}
{Swedish Railway}

In terms of ease and affordability, there are few modes of transportation that match the bus. Sweden's buses are quiet and pretty comfortable. They also offer a less expensive alternative between larger cities, and many European capitals have bus routes into Sweden. {Swebus} {Svenskabus}
