Discover Gävle by Hire Car
The city of Gävle is located in the far east of Sweden. Looking at the coastline of the country, Gävle is pretty much in the middle, right on the Gulf of Bothnia, a part of the Baltic Sea.
Gävle was founded in 1446, making it by far the oldest city in the region.
After the town was last completely burned down in 1869, it quickly became an economically very important place along the Swedish Baltic coast.
Fishing in particular still plays a major role in Gävle and forms the largest part of the local industry. Besides fishing, only the paper industry and a coffee roasting plant play a significant role.
Sights Gävle
Gävle with its 68,000 inhabitants actually belongs to the rather small cities, in the region but it is something like the cultural and economic center.
Who wants to spend a holiday in Eastern Sweden, can get a hire car in Gävle, for example, or he spends a part of the holiday completely in the small town. However, there is not too much to do in Gävle, only some historical buildings or the castle are worth a visit.
Discover the surroundings of Gävle
However, there are numerous points of interest for tourists in the surrounding region, including old aristocratic farms and historic villages.
A hire car is essential for such visits as there is no public transport connection to these places.
