Guided tour in Gammelstad Churchtown Unesco
The Visitor center has a scheduled tour on November 19 at 2 p.m., that tour is in Swedish. (You can contact Desiré Ek about requests to perhaps run it in English if desired.) There is a regular bus to Gammelstad with LLT 12.50 from Smedjegatan, a guided tour at 14.00-15.00 and a bus back to town at 15.26, so there is also time to visit the exhibition at the Visitor Center and stroll a bit on your own in the church town. If you want to be able to offer other times and, for example, English guiding or even some guiding or activity at Hägnan, this must be booked as a group activity with the Visitor Center. They have a few different suggestions for group activities at Hägnan. You can contact them via gammelstad@lulea.se

Meet the mooses and reindeer at CapeWild
The owner Thomas can set up a scheduled tour on the 19th of November which is then booked and paid for via their website. If a special time is desired, e.g. at 4 p.m., you can contact CapeWild and have a talk. However, no transfer or taxi to that tour from the center is included, you have to arrange that yourself via taxi or if you want a group transport by bus or similar, suggest talking to NEX travel agency or, for example, Min Taxi (Ola Johansson) who often runs transfers to CapeWild. In the afternoon of Nov 21 after the conference, however, CapeWild is already booked with a group.
