If you are looking for a place to swim, Kalmar’s beaches are the best place to visit. There are beaches on several islands, but they almost don’t have differences. These are sandy and rocky beaches with transparent water and clean bottom. That being said, don’t expect to find a well-developed infrastructure because local people prefer to visit swimming pools and manmade lakes. Curious travelers may also find it interesting to explore the beaches of Öland Island. For this purpose, you will need to cross Klamar Strait by using the Öland Bridge. Beaches of Öland are mostly sandy, flat, and have clean water. There are also several recreational centers in the area.
During your stay on Öland Island, don’t forget to visit the ruins of Borgholm Castle. Many years ago, it was a glorious complex. Nowadays, only ruins of the castle remind of its past. Nevertheless, do not neglect to visit this landmark because the castle is built on a hill and offers a breathtaking view of the island, strait, and the Öland Bridge. One more landmark of the island, Solliden Palace, is located nearby. This palace is a summer residence of the royal Swedish family. Solliden Palace is particularly renowned for its magnificent park. It is an incredibly charming and peaceful place that is perfect for an unhurried walk. Moreover, maybe you will get a glimpse of nobles who also admire the shadowy parkways.
