Practical tips before your visit

– Don’t miss that we have the evening opening on Friday! We open the doors at 1 p.m. and close at 9 p.m.

– There will be water stations in the hall, so please bring a bottle to fill up during the day.

– Get to Kistamässan in an easy and environmentally friendly way using the subway to Kista or the shuttle to Helenelund. Right now we have reduced parking possibilities due to a major infrastructure project led by the City of Stockholm and the Swedish Transport Administration.

– Download our app (Heroes Comic Con Nordics) to have all the info in one place. In the app, you can also customize your own schedule and navigate our interactive hall plan.

– On the lower floor of Kistamässan (in the area we call The Dungeon) you will find unisex toilets.

– Leave your bag at home – based on the increased terror threat level, the Police Authority has decided that bag bans apply at all major events. Read more about the bag ban here.
