It may be a little tricky to come there; so be in good time.

The best is to start at the Central Railroad Station, walking southwards below traffic bridges and small tunnels and the pass the street on the photo to the left. Stockholm Town Hall is in the background and quay to the very left. You may ask for the way at the Central Station (or better join the common leaving at the registration place at 13.30).
