Tour description

The historical city of Kalmar is perfect to explore on a walking tour. We take it slow and visit marquee attractions like Kalmar Castle, Kalmar Cathedral and The Old Water Tower. In the cosy city center inside the city walls, we will give you an introduction to local and Swedish history with special attention to the way of life in Sweden. Are there really polar beers in the streets? What do Swedes eat? Why do they have to go to a special store to buy our alcohol? What does Swedish candy taste like, and what is “Swedish fika”? Join our local and experienced guide to know all about it!
