Örebro - Do & See
Vinön
Vinön is Lake Hjälmaren’s largest island. Here you may experience wonderful scenery – go swimming and eat well at the restaurant, buy fresh baked bread or just take it easy. Leave your car on the mainland, rent a bike on Vinön and ride around on the small roads to get to know the island.
Örebro Castle
In the center of the city stands the stately Örebro castle, the gathering point in the city for more than 700 years. Once a simple castle for defense and prison, but during the Vasa era it was rebuilt as a magnificent, royal castle. Today the castle is an open tourist attraction, full of life, with tours, exhibitions, a restaurant and a café.
Wadköping
At the beach of the Svartå in central Örebro, we find the open-air museum Wadköping with environments from Örebro in the past. In the small farm buildings from the 17th-19th centuries there are craftsmen, shops, museums, a café and exhibitions. There are also other museum buildings like Cajsa Warg’s house and Kungstugan from the 16th and 17th centuries. Events all through the year.
