Introducing Kalmar
Kalmar has one of the most spectacular castles in Sweden, with an interior even more perfect than its turreted outside - miss it at your cost. Other excitements in town include Sweden's largest gold hoard, from the 17th-century ship Kronan, and picturesque buildings and cobbled streets in the Kvarnholmen area. If you've anything to celebrate, Kalmar's a good place to do it in, with romantic hotels and lively bars.

The short-lived Kalmar Union of 1397, when the crowns of Sweden, Denmark and Norway became one, was agreed to at the castle.
