2019:Related activities

Do you want to experience Stockholm? Get information on city tours? Or take part in the Culture Crawl? Then this is the right page for you!

Wikimania 2019 aims not only to be a great conference focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but also a concept: a one-year focus on Wikimedia, Free Knowledge, the SDGs and how to strengthen each other. This page will list activities taking place around Stockholm, Sweden and northern Europe that are related to but not a part of the conference. It will enable attendees to plan possible trips, to potentially extend their visits and to gain more from visiting Stockholm and Sweden.
