A stay in Örebro is a very special experience. The city is picturesquely located near Hjälmaren, the fourth largest lake in Sweden.

Orebro’s landscape is also characterised by other bodies of water: the river Svarta runs through the town and flows into Lake Kenen, Örebro is connected to Gothenburg via the Göta Canal and Lake Vänern, and to Stockholm via Lake Mälar and Arbogaan.

The capital of Sweden is located about 200 km east of Örebro. The municipality is on both the Gothenburg – Stockholm and Oslo – Stockholm routes through the E20 and E18 European roads.

First of all, all visitors should visit the castle, it is the landmark of the city, called “Örebro slott” in Swedish. Its location – on an island in the middle of the city – is unique.

In the old town called Wadköping, you can take numerous walks through the magnificent alleys and streets lined with typical red wooden houses.

An excellent view of the city and its surroundings can be had from the water tower, which is very easy to reach by hire car. You can get to its visitor platform by a lift and from there you can plan your next excursions in or around the city.
