Västerås

Västerås lies on the northern shore of Lake Mälaren and is a lovely city with just over 120,000 inhabitants. You can take a stroll around the cosy centre and see if there are any cheap goodies on sale to take home as a souvenir of your trip. There are also several restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat or you can also take the opportunity to visit H&M's very first store, where the history of the fashion empire began.

One of the city's landmarks is the Västerås Concert Hall, which was inaugurated in 2002 by King Carl Gustav XVI. Keep an eye out for the many interesting events held in the concert hall and at Västmanland Theatre.

Vasaparken is also worth a visit, a great place to relax in the beautiful surroundings. If you are looking for art, stop by Karlsgatan 2, the meeting place for art and culture, and there are also two museums; Västerås Art Museum and Västmanland Landsmuseum.

Take the family to Sweden's first action pool, Kokpunkten, and get your swimming adrenaline pumping. In winter, you can also ski at Vedbobacken or try your skates on the ice rink at Lake Mälaren.

Eskilstuna

Take a cheap car holiday and visit the city of Eskilstuna in Sörmland. Located on the Eskilstuna River, which connects lakes Hjälmaren and Mälaren, the town was a trading centre in the 1000s thanks to its strategic location. The name Eskilstuna is derived from the English monk and Sörmland saint St. Eskil. The centrally located Fors Church, the town's oldest, dates back to the mid-1000s.

Don't miss the Rademacher Forges, an open-air museum in the city centre where you'll find well-preserved houses from Reinhold Rademacher's 17th-century forge production. Traditional handicrafts can be bought in the area, which can be purchased on site. Take a cheap self-drive holiday and have a summer break in Sweden.

Anundshög

Discover one of the many historic sites on your driving holiday and stop at Anundshög. It's Sweden's largest burial mound at 9 metres high and 64 metres in diameter. The graves probably date from 500 to 700 AD and were used for sacrifices to their gods. The area was probably also inhabited already in the Stone Age and used for trade routes and waterways.

Water Tower Sponge

In Örebro you can see the old water tower, the Sponge, which today is a popular vantage point. From here you have a lovely view over the city and the Närkesletten. There is also a restaurant and café if you get hungry. Drive to Örebro and find hotels for your trip at Risskov. Find great deals to Sweden and get away with the whole family at your own pace.

Kalklinbanan

Kalklinbanan was the last industrial cable railway in Sweden and was used until 2013, when parts of it were demolished. The cableway ran between Forsby and Köping with three intermediate stations; Knotberget, Malmberga and Granhammar.

The cable car's viewpoints are marked on a map on the Kalklinbanan website and you can visit in Malmberga and Västermo, while the limestone quarry is in Forsby. In summer there are guided tours.

Örebro Kunsthal

Örebro Konsthall, situated in Örebro, Sweden, is a dynamic space for contemporary art. It features a wide range of exhibitions from both Swedish and international artists, making it a key cultural venue for those interested in modern artistic expressions and innovations. This museum is particularly appealing to art enthusiasts eager to explore the latest trends in the art world, as well as to individuals looking for an immersive cultural experience.

Wadköping Open Air Museum

Experience what Örebro once looked like with a visit to the Wadköping Open Air Museum. This fantastic open-air museum first opened its doors back in the 1960s and consists of farmhouses that were saved from demolition. It may be hard to imagine that these small wooden farmhouses were once some of Örebro's largest buildings. Today, the charming houses are used for workshops, shops and small museums. Enjoy the smell of freshly baked bread from the bakery, take in the cosy atmosphere with a cup of coffee on the square, watch the wood turner at work and discover the exhibitions in "Cajsa Warg's House". In the month of December, Wadköping is also transformed into a most charming Christmas market.

Örebro Castle

In the centre of Örebro is the magnificent Örebro Castle, where the Svartåen River flows by. The castle, which has been the centre of the city for more than 700 years, is a very popular tourist attraction. Today the old castle is a very lively attraction where you can see exhibitions, theatre performances and fairs as well as enjoy a good meal. During the summer months, you can of course also join guided tours and learn more about the castle and its history. You can also join one of the castle's ghost tours and listen to stories about the lives of former prisoners, witches, folk beliefs and today's famous ghosts.
