The guide

Sweden, city by city

Cidade Turismo is a travel guide built city by city, now also in Sweden. For each place you'll find things to do, attractions with their own page, when to go and how to get there.

The guide has three ways in, so you can start wherever you like: routes, which link towns along one journey; destinations, which are the tourist regions; and the counties, with the main cities in each one.

The texts are written from official tourism sources, such as national and regional tourism offices, national parks and city halls, and new cities and routes keep being added to the guide.

Where to start

Cities to discover today

Six cities from the guide, changing every day.

Norrbotten · Kiruna and Lapland

Abisko

Abisko is a small village on the shore of lake Torneträsk, about 95 km from Kiruna, facing the mountains on the border with Norway. It has Abisko National Park, with the Abiskojåkka canyon, the start of the Kungsleden trail and the Lapporten valley view. Because it often has clear skies, it is much sought after for aurora viewing from September to March at the Aurora Sky Station.

Gotland · Gotland

Visby

Visby is the capital of Gotland, the largest island in Sweden, and a medieval Hanseatic town surrounded by a 3.4 km wall, almost complete. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has ruins of Gothic churches, the cathedral of Santa Maria, stone houses and alleys covered in roses in summer. The Gotlands Museum houses the painted stones and Viking silver. Lummelunda cave and the raukar of Fårö lie to the north.

Estocolmo · Estocolmo

Estocolmo

Estocolmo is Sweden’s capital and largest city, spread over fourteen islands between lake Mälaren and the Baltic. The center includes the old town Gamla Stan, the Palácio Real and the Nobel City Hall; the island of Djurgården houses the Vasa Museum, Skansen and the Nordic Museum; Södermalm has viewpoints and Fotografiska. Commuter boats go to the Palácio de Drottningholm and the archipelago, and the metro is an underground art gallery.

Dalarna · Dalarna

Mora

Mora sits on the northwest tip of Lake Siljan, in Dalarna. It’s the hometown of painter Anders Zorn, with a museum and the house where he lived, and the finish of the Vasaloppet, the 90 km ski race on the first Sunday in March. Ten kilometers away, in Nusnäs, family workshops hand-make the Dala horses, and the road around the lake leads to Rättvik, Tällberg and the Vidablick viewpoint.

Kalmar · Kalmar and Öland

Kalmar

Kalmar is a city on Sweden’s southeast coast, facing the Kalmarsund sound and the island of Öland. It has a Renaissance castle surrounded by water, where the Union of Kalmar was signed in 1397, a 17th-century centre on the island of Kvarnholmen with Tessin’s baroque cathedral, and a museum with finds from the ship Kronan. A 6 km bridge leads to Öland.

Escânia · Malmö and Lund

Malmö

Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, in the far south, connected to Copenhagen by the Øresund Bridge. The centre has the squares Stortorget and Lilla torg, the Renaissance castle Malmöhus and the Moderna Museet; to the west the Turning Torso tower marks the Västra Hamnen district, and Ribersborg beach has the 1898 bathhouse over the sea. Copenhagen Airport is about 20 minutes away by train.
