Introducing Vadstena

Beautiful Vadstena on Vättern lake is a legacy of both church and state power, and today St Birgitta's abbey and Gustav Vasa's castle compete for the visitor's interest. The atmosphere in the old town (between Storgatan and the abbey), with its wonderful cobbled lanes, evocative street names and wooden buildings, makes Vadstena one of the most pleasing places in Sweden.
