Kalmar is the proud home to one of the most popular harbors on Sweden’s east coast. Its ideal location, stunning views, and cultural exhibits are draws that keep guests coming back year after year. The harbor is walking distance to shopping, entertainment, and attractions. From the harbor, you have an excellent view of the well-preserved Kalmar Castle which is also open to the public. On the pier, there is no shortage of excellent restaurants and shops to choose from, and if you’re looking for a taste of Kalmar’s nightlife, all the best pubs and entertainment venues are just a few blocks from the city’s center. If history and culture interests you, make plans to visit the Kronan warship, slapstick theater, and the county museum, which has an excellent permanent exhibition.
