Kalmar is one of Sweden’s oldest cities and is a perfect example of how relics of the past can blend with modern architecture. A stroll through the 17th century city centre, the Old Town and a visit to the magnificent Renaissance castle will take you centuries back in time. Orrefors is one of the most famous glassworks in the world with a history that stretches back over 100 years. In the blowing room, you can see how the glassblowers gather the glowing melt from the furnaces and transform it into different graceful crystal products. The island of Oland is renowned for its wonderful views and inviting beaches. Enjoy mystical, ancient monuments in a unique natural setting. UNESCO has listed the landscape of southern Oland as a world heritage site. While in Oland you can also visit Solliden, the Royal Family’s summer residence.
