Accommodation
Information on accomodation possibilites and bookings/registrations.
Information
The accommodation possibilities in Malmö are limited and hotel prices are expensive. Therefore we are working hard on how to offer solidarity accommodation (volunteers and interpreters are prioritised), to solve mass accommodation and compile good information on alternative accommodation close to Malmö. Travel time from close-by cities are approximately at the most between 20 and 50 minutes by train or bus, leaving every ten to fifteen minute.
Copenhagen: We are in the process of compiling and translating information on hostels in Copenhagen. There will also be solidarity accommodation and mass accommodation i the most famous autonomus space in the Nordic countries, Christiania, centrally located in Copenhagen.
Lund, Helsingborg and other cities: Hotels and hostels in these cities are good options.
Solidarity accommodation
Means that you offer a bed or a sofa to participants of the ESF (interpreters, volunteers and people subsidised through the solidarity fund will be prioritised). This is a good way to show Malmo, to get new experiences and above all the possiblity of a friend for life! Note that it's cheaper to participate in the forum if you offer solidarity accommodation, only 10 Euro! It's now possible to offer places in solidarity accommodation. The request form will be opened later.
Hotels
In co-operation with Malmö Tourism, we have pre-booked a large number of hotel rooms for participants of the European Social Forum. You can book these rooms through a special system, that you will find by following the link below. In this system it's possible to book rooms during the period 16th of September to the 21st of September. If you want to book a room for other dates, please contact the hotel. You can book a maximum of 14 rooms at the same time.
Make sure to use this system, because that will help us to make good estimations about the acutal need of rooms. It is also cheaper, because in this agreement we have a group discount. Despite this, hotels are unfortunately quite expensive in Malmö.

Hostels
There are few places in Malmo hostels. We have pre-booked as many as possible, and thanks to this we have been able to help some groups and persons with rooms. Now the hostels in Malmö and Lund are almost completely fully booked. We advise you to contact hostels in Copenhagen, which you can find through Danhostel.
Mass accomodation
There will be mass accommodation in gymnasiums as well as in military tents at Malmö Camping och Feriecenter. Note that you are not able to choose whether to stay in gymnasiums or at the campingsite. To register for mass accommodation, as individual or group, you have to register as participant/s at the forum. Link to form will come soon.
