Västerås Travel Guide: 149 reviews and 253 photos

Welcome to my Västerås page! I've devided this page into three section to make it a bit easier for you to navigate. In the first section, the must see activities, you can read some tips and see some impressions of the city of Västerås itself.....

Anundshög

In the second part I will try to tell you all about Anundshög; one of Sweden's most interesting sites of ancient remains. Anundshög is just outside Västerås and you can read all about it on my 'off the beaten path tips'.....

Fiholm Castle

And last but not least is the surrounding area of Västerås. I visited some nice places there, like this Fiholm Castle. You can read all about the surrounding area of Västerås in my general tips.

I hope you will enjoy reading this page!

So many interesting places! Ancient fortifications, deers, black river. I wonder how many days are needed to see all interesting places in the country :-)
