Introducing Falun
Falun, which is traditionally the main centre of Dalarna, is synonymous with mining, but don't think grisly thoughts of dark pits and industrial grime - Falu Kopparbergsgruva (Copper Mountain mine) is unique enough to appear on Unesco's World Heritage List and is a fascinating experience. An even more popular attraction is the home of painter Carl Larsson, a work of art in itself and absolutely unmissable.
