  • TRAVEL

    For you traveling to Side by Side!

    The locations for accommodation, food, rehearsals and concerts are all within walking distance of the Concert Hall (Konserthuset).

    FLIGHT

    The closest airport is Gothenburg Landvetter Airport.

     
    To get from the airport to the city we recommend the airport bus.

     
    In Gothenburg we recommend you leave the airport bus at stop “Korsvägen” and after that walk about 13min/950m to Hvitfeldtska Gymnasiet Norra, (Rektorsgatan 2) where you can check-in at the accommodation.

     

    If you are going straight to Konserthuset (the Concert Hall), you can disembark at "Berzeliigatan" and walk ca 4 min/270 m up the incline.

    TRAIN

    Nearest train station is Gothenburg Central Station.

    From there you can take several different buses and trams. Ticket may be bought at the store “Västtrafik”, "Resecentrum" or via the ToGo app. (Available in your app store.)

     

    For example, you can take tram number 7 towards Tynnered.

    Leave the tram at the stop “Kapellplatsen” and walk about 6min/400m to Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet Norra (Rektorsgatan 2) where you can check-in at the accommodation.

  • MEALS

    The meals that are in your track’s schedule are the ones you can eat during the camp. We are working hard to lessen the excess amount of food we serve at the camp, therefore some of the meals are only for those at our accommodation.
    The meals only served for our accommodation will be noted in the schedule. Please note that there is no dinner on June 17.

    BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER

    Breakfast is only served for our accommodation.

    Sandwiches on 23 June at 08.00-09.00
     
    Lunch and dinner are served at both Hvitfeldtskas matsal and in Konserthuset. Where you are supposed to eat which meal will be noted in your schedule.

    Side by Side is a” Kranmärkt” (tap certified) event. Meaning that we do not serve any water on bottle and instead provide our participants with a refillable bottle that you can refill at any water source. (Swedish tap water is drinkable.)

  • ACCOMMODATION & CHECK-IN

    SAFETY AT ACCOMMODATION

    The accommodations have staff (accommodation host/logivärd) on site around the clock. These have undergone fire protection training. Everyone, both employees and volunteers, receives information about the ordinary fire and evacuation regulations that apply at the schools.
     
    In each building there are two employees on site every night, one of whom is awake. During the day, there are also always two employees on site at the reception in each building. The classrooms are kept locked and the accommodation hosts will help you with the unlocking.
     
    We urge you to follow our fire prevention measures and housing rules. Keep classrooms and corridors clean and tidy, bring rubbish from the rooms. Make sure that all windows and doors are closed and locked when you leave the rooms. Side by Side is an alcohol and drug free camp. This also applies to the accommodation. Due to allergies among the participants, peanuts and nuts of all kinds are prohibited at the accommodation.
     
    After kl. 23 it should be quiet in the corridors and in the rooms. The front doors are locked between 22-07 and therefore everyone must stay inside then.
     
    We work to increase security and have increased the number of employees at the accommodation. Staff from security companies are on site around the clock. Nevertheless, we can not guarantee that there will be no theft of accommodation. Side by Side has no insurance for possible thefts, it must be covered by your own home insurance.
