Old Town in Kalmar

Old Town in Kalmar

In the heart of Kalmar, a short distance from the imposing Kalmar Castle, lies the quaint Old Town, offering a glimpse into the city's truly ancient past. Characterised by narrow, winding lanes and impeccably preserved 17th-century red-and-white cottages and buildings, this enclave transports visitors to a bygone era. The Old Town arose from the ashes of the original medieval settlement, which succumbed to fire in the 1600s and stands as a charming testament to Kalmar's historical roots.

Swimming

Kalmar boasts a diverse array of swimming spots: from busy beaches right in the city centre to tranquil, charming shores to the north and south of the centre. Make a stop at Kattrumpan beach at the end of Storgatan in central Kalmar. The newest and largest sandy beach, Kalmarsundsbadet, located behind the castle, has been improved with a 180-metre-long bathing jetty. If you explore the coastline a bit to the south or north of the city core, you'll discover quieter beaches, too.
