Vingåkers Factory Outlet AB

Clothing store
Shopping
Expansive outlet store offering brand-name attire & accessories for men, women & kids, plus a cafe.
I bought my suit for attending a wedding here. I assumed that if I went to one of the expensive stores in Stockholm, I'd get the same kind of quality, but with a lot of consultation that I'd have to pay for with the higher prices, and wanted to try if I can find a good suit at this outlet without any consultation, but saving a lot of money this way. As someone who has never worn a suit, i had a rough idea of what to look out for and which brands were considered high quality. But after an hour i was still somewhat lost and hadn't found a great option. There are loads of suits, differing in loads of ways. And my body is not that of a fashion model, so if the shoulders fit perfectly, I couldn't close the jacket and vice versa. Surprisingly, I was approached by a young man working there who offered to help me, which I assumed was not a thing at a cheap outlet store. He went on to help me for a ridiculously long time until we had found jacket, pants and shirt that all fit me and fit together. He was super knowledgeable about the different brands, how they are cut differently and how they differ from other brands in how wide they are around the waist or the shoulders etc. Again, not something I'd expect at a cheap outlet. Overall it was a really really good customer experience, the person was very knowledgeable, and also very respectful in how he talked about the difficulties that my mid section brought about. Big recommendation.
Sebastian G — Google review
We received a USED pair of pants with tags on them... Do they usually scam people like that, because it's never happened to us before. They'll be receiving everything back with special complaints. Shame on them! It was the first and last time buying from them. The clothes also didn't correspond to their size. We bought clothes we've owned before and we're sure about the size. The packaging was also poor. I would not recommend this online... store and if I had the opportunity to rate with 0 stars I would.
Areti A — Google review
A large outlet store with clothes for all ages. There are many different brands here that I don't know. The prices are quite high in my opinion, but I managed to find training socks at a very good price. 👍 It is a bit unstructured and difficult to navigate among different garments.
I Q — Google review
The outlet is just what you’d expect plenty of clothing options at really good prices. I recommend coming here if you’re looking to buy clothes at a bargain. The factory is huge and offers all kinds of clothing for different styles and needs. However, I wasn’t too impressed with their shoe selection. I was specifically looking for loafers, but couldn’t find any. Don’t forget to check out their “Fyndtält” as well an outlet within the outlet where you can find even better deals.
Dario J — Google review
I wrote a review of this place around 3-4 years ago and it was a 1 star rating. We recently visited. Oh how much has changed since visiting last. They seem to have rearranged the shop since my last visit. The place seemed more organised and tidier. We visited the on site cafe for lunch and the food was nice and very well priced. The staff were also so friendly. Something I cannot remember from the last time we were here. My partner and son managed to buy a few pieces of clothing and shoes for a good price. Myself I just came away with a belt due to being too fussy with my clothing requirements. For me the mens clothing I looked at lacked too much in the quality department. Hence them being in the outlet for that reason I imagine. Well done to the staff there :-)
Scott J — Google review
Lots of clothes for men, women and children. The first time I saw so many jackets, trousers and suits in one place
Alex W — Google review
Made a little detour that day just to come have a look at this Outlet. We were looking for some Saki coats or jackets, which are quite pricey in our country. The Outlet didn't look like much from outside, but don't let the plain look fool you. There is a huge selection of numerous big brands. And many many at low prices. You can spend a huge amount of money in here. We got what we came for. A nice Saki coat and jacket. Both almost 50% down from our prices at home. A great Outlet. For Her or Him. There's a restaurant across the road (BBQ) or a Hot Dog / Sausage stand just at the entrance (which did fine snacks for little money).
Alex H — Google review
It has alot of good stuff but the big outlet iself is an average for finding the best prices. The fynd behind the store is usually the most interesting. At least for guys who are looking for business suits of brands like tiger of Sweden.

Its a great idyllic area beside the big park in our town and perfect for a place to relax and enjoy some historical buildings in a cozy athmosphere, both for tourists and locals in all ages. There is just one thing missing and that is...longer opening hours during the summer! Its way too early to close everything at 5pm in such a lovely place during high season when people are enjoying summer nights.
Johan — Google review
Gentle fun for the kids, with historical buildings to look around. Nice ice cream shop, cafe and a shop selling lots of things for kids, crystals Harry Potter stuff, some homeware. There’s a big park next to this place, with playgrounds and a water splash playground that’s free to use. Big hit in the summer! Easy parking nearby. A fun and not very demanding afternoon for the kids.
Steve C — Google review
We were out for a walk and happened to find the market that day. The atmosphere was perfect, with lots of delicious food. Although I can’t really judge Wadköping without the market, since we were so lucky to be there that day, I must say it was a very pleasant surprise. Still, the place itself is very beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

The castle is beautiful and I like the surrounding small islands. Exhibition wise its not the best but not bad either, I think its nice that there is information about the castle’s history with some fun facts. We saw the witch exhibition as well which was very well done even tho it was not always based on facts. It had a nice atmosphere!
Réka B — Google review
Örebro castle is very good in outside view. It was really nice from outside. But once you entered to the inside, literally there is nothing to see. They had only few mini models of city, castle which has covered with glasses. Other than that a drawing area for kids and stories of witches who has been in history and was doing black magic. All stories were interested to read but they are stories which no one has proof of anything. I don't think this place deserves more stars as it only good from outside only⭐. But still good place for someone who interests with these witches related stories.

We enjoyed our visit to Orebro Castle. It was much better than we expected. Of course there is plenty of history on the castle and Orebro. But they also had a very well done witches exhibit. The dungeon was very cool. But be prepared for stairs. Swedish and English are both used throughout the castle.

Dear San Franciscan, Welcome to Sweden. This is one of the drop off and pick up site for us when we are in Örebro. This is a small castle. We arrived around 5pm and must leave by 7pm. So, we only utilized this town to get dinner nearby. We went inside the castle, but it was closed and there was not lots to observe. I noticed there’s an increase of smokers in this town.

Gustavsvik Resorts AB is a popular water park located in Orebro, Sweden, offering a wide range of thrilling rides and attractions for visitors of all ages. The city of Orebro itself is known for its rich history, cultural sites, and natural beauty, including the iconic Orebro Castle dating back to the 13th century. In addition to the castle, tourists can explore other attractions such as the expansive Wadkoping open-air museum showcasing traditional Swedish architecture.
This place was the most fun. It had at least six different water rides and each one was fun. Watch out for the hurricane, protect your head and you'll enjoy it a lot more. And also on the yellow and blue striped slide, river run. Try it out first in a single person tube, you have more control that way. Than if you're feeling more adventurous, try it two people. My daughter and I had the most fun there today and the aesthetic is just awesome.

Nice place to relax near by stockholm if you want to have good time with family and friends. Place has got basic amenities that any camping site would have.

Really fun and nice, after lunch it was long queues to all the slides and quite crowded in the river, this was during the high season. Being able to checkout from the parking and money on the wrist band is more of a limit since you only pay for what you use, very convenient.
Stefan H — Google review
⸻ “The worst experience I’ve ever had was trying the highest slide — it nearly killed me. I hit the back of my head hard inside the slide and genuinely thought I was going to die. When we asked the guards if this was normal, they casually replied, ‘Yes, it happens to a lot of people.’ 😵‍💫 That response shocked me even more. How can something so dangerous be ‘typical’?” Where’s the safety!!!!
Heba H — Google review
I was negatively surprised by the safety of this water park. There is no staff to look for the rides - there are just time-based lamps. If someone is stuck inside, tge next person will crash into you. It happened to me twice during one visit!! I was riding the snake and the yellow ride and I just stopped on the flat parts. I tried quickly to push myself to go forward, but too late - the next person crashed into me. Luckily without any serious injuries, becauae the yellow ride is quite slow (altough it was an adult man who hit me legs straight), and on the snake I was lucky - he managed to kind of swing when meeting me and did not hit me so much. At the hurricane I experienced the same as in other reviews - snapping my neck at the bottom part. Then the Lost City part - I really did not understand what it was. It has rounded PAINTED CONCRETE walls. The flow takes you towards the wall, where you have the choice to hit your foot and ankle or scratch your side, because the paint is chipped in some places and in general is not the smoothest, besides the fact that it's solid concrete ?? I got some bruises trying to get down. The three top rides are fine, besides the fact that at one of them the signal lamp did not work and it said just wait 30 seconds. How would a person who just arrived know when did 30 seconds start? The areas around the pools have some stone blocks (again concrete) scattered around with sharp angles, I was genuinely scared for the kids running around. I was really surprised and I couldn't imagine such a park in Sweden. I was not too much disappointed because the price was cheap (~195sek per person on Sunday) and I did not suffer too much damage.

The entrance is near to the lake corner. Around 12 euros per adult. Inside there are a lot of motors, bicycles, motorcycles and other associated objects. The collection has a lot of items, not so much interactive or engaging part of you are not very passionate of motors or old objects. Need mote English panels for more exhibits. Better if cheaper.

10 stars. A treat for fans of old motorization, but not only cars, which are huge here, motorcycles, but also radios, TV sets, cameras and even telephones or glued models. To be here and not to visit ... Hundreds of exhibits. These aren't just random models. Usually these are exhibits that have been used by famous people. You will be in Motala be sure to visit the museum

This was a very special place for the people who like the idea of old and historic cars. It's a bit full of the cars in various types and there is also a little museum of foto, radio and phones at the place. It was not very crowded and with a lot of different kinds of vehicles. A bit too many to my taste but still ok. The entrance fee was 110 SEK.

Vadstena Castle

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Vadstena Castle, constructed in 1545 by King Gustav I, is a heavily fortified castle that overlooks the lake and is considered one of the finest early Renaissance buildings in the Nordic region. The upper floors are furnished and offer a glimpse into the history of the early Vasa kings, with gloomy portraits and a modest historical display. Visitors can explore the chapel, known for its incredible 17-second echo. Guided tours are available from mid-July to mid-September.
Not only was this castle beautifully renovated into its Renaissance past, it had displays in English as well as Swedish and German. Perhaps the best part was the man who sold us our tickets. He was SO HELPFUL to us. We had been given a parking ticket in another town, and being from USA we were having a very hard time trying to figure out the process of what we had done wrong and hope to contact the ticking company. He was able to help us and answer questions about how to avoid them in the future. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this man. He was great.

If you’re interested in Swedish history, this is one of the places to visit. Take your own pick nick basket with you and stay for a coffee break or lunch. There are few tables beside the old monastery for that purpose. We accidentally witnessed a beautiful small wedding ceremony inside the church ruins. Omberg behind the ruins is a magic place to take a walk around.

It is a cozy little ruin after a monastery. You can still see the outline after where the buildings were etc. Unfortunately many of the information signs have lost their text so it wasn't super informative. But there were picnic tables and the grass was mowed so I could really recommend this if you need to take a little break!

(Translated by Google) The mini golf course in Hjo city park is absolutely fantastic. The location is perfect with a view of the lake. There are plenty of nearby parking spaces, which are also free of charge. The lady who runs the mini golf course is very nice and cares about the visitors' enjoyment. The course consists of 18 holes, most of which have obstacles that can be folded down, if you want a greater challenge. You can play as much as you want without having to pay an extra amount. Is the only miniature golf course I've played on that allows visitors to play round after round without charging extra. In addition to mini golf, drinks, coffee, coffee and ice cream are available for purchase. Both ball ice cream and regular "box ice cream". In addition, at low prices. The track is usually open between 12:00 and 19:00, but if you are unsure, you can call the number listed in a quick search. (The picture shows my friend who now holds the track record. I should add that he was okay with me posting the picture). (Original) Minigolfbanan i Hjo stadspark är helt fantastisk. Läget är perfekt med utsikt över sjön. Det finns gott om närliggande parkeringsplatser, som dessutom är kostnadsfria. Damen som driver minigolfbanan är väldigt trevlig och mån om att besökarna trivs. Banan består av 18 hål där flertalet har hinder som kan fällas ned, om man vill ha en större utmaning. Man får spela hur mycket man vill utan att behöva betala extra summa. Är den enda minigolfbanan jag spelat på som låter besökare spela varv efter varv utan att ta extra betalt. Utöver minigolf finns dricka, kaffe, fika och glass att köpa. Både kulglass och vanlig "boxglass". Dessutom till låga priser. Banan är vanligtvis öppen mellan 12:00-19:00, men om man är osäker kan man ringa på numret som finns angivet vid en snabb sökning. (På bilden syns min vän som numera innehar banrekordet. Ska tilläggas att han var okej med att jag lade upp bilden).

Brahehus Castle Ruin

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Hilltop remains of a stone castle built in the 1600s, with views of the lake & farmlands below.
We visited here as when we drive through the road and suddenly saw the castle from road. It was worth it to stop for a visit. The view with the sea and castle was amazing. There is no historical things to see inside of castle. It just the breathtaking view from all the Windows of castle as inside of it mostly broken But its really worth to see it specially in summer. I will recommend you this much more than Örebro castle.Check my photos and videos so you can take a idea.

I was told about this spot from a local Swedish worker. It is a small castle with an amazing overlook of the lake. The castle is run down but was built in the mid 17th century. The views are breath taking and definitely a can’t miss spot for a fifteen or twenty minute break. You will have to park at the rest stop across the highway from the castle, but there is a walking tunnel that is a short two minute walk and there is always plenty of parking. If you are headed this way don’t miss this great view from a 1000 foot cliff with a great feel of Swedish history!

The museum has been centered on the adventurous undertaking of Salomon August Andrée and other explorers in their balloon expedition to the North Pole.

Visited with low expectations and it turned out to be a great experience. Nice videos, you get to see real items from the original expedition and the ones to follow. Also an homage to women north pole explorers is a nice touch. Very child friendly, and can take up to two hours.
M. A — Google review
the museum presents the tragic story about people who tried to get the north. During the XIX century the goal about North was really important for people living in Sweden. People became a heroes after expeditions to the north. The story about Andrée, Strindberg and Fraenkel is heroic, but unfortunately the ending is really sad. :-( -Parking is about 150 meters from this place -Staff speak English -One ticket for adult person costs: 70 SEK -There are toilets inside. -Suouvenirs are aviable to buy Take your time to discover the whole story about that jurney plan about 3 hours. The multimedia area is great prepared for the movies, some of them, you can start play on your own.

A lot of information about the Andree expedition (including English description), introductory moovie with English subtitles.

Very friendly staff in the souvenir shop/ticket office.

Surprisingly interesting and well-thought-of museum. We followed the advice of the staff and started with the short film about the expedition, which was very insightful and emotional. It really sets the tone for the rest of the exhibition, which, on its own, also has a lot of relevant pieces to check out. Worth it.

Located in Huskvarna, just north of Jonkoping, the Husqvarna Museum showcases the 300-year history of the renowned company. The museum features hundreds of exhibits, including some of Husqvarna's most significant products such as motorbikes, bicycles, garden equipment, and forestry tools. It provides a comprehensive look at how the company evolved into a global powerhouse.
I loved the museum. Super rich and shows all what the Swedish brand was producing over the years! Wow.

An interesting place to go and see whe history of the company Husqvarna. It's not about the city. Gave an interesting view and history of the company.

I'm not a museum person at all, but my boyfriend wanted to go, so I joined him. I must say I really enjoyed it! I love the fact that Husqvarna has produced pretty much every conceivable object possible, and could see them all displayed, and without being too wordy. It was also very cool to see some of the donated items that were still brand new, and others very well used. Thoroughly recommended, even to museum avoiders, and it's a very fair price.

The Match Museum

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Museum
Specialty Museums
Located on the west side of Jonkoping, The Match Museum, also known as Tandsticksmuseet in Swedish, is a 19th-century factory that offers an intriguing journey through the history of match-making. This museum provides insights into Sweden's workers' rights and the significance of match production to Jonkoping's economy. Visitors can explore the old refurbished factory to learn about the machinery and individuals involved in this industry.
This museum is a tiny temple of fire and nostalgia. It beautifully tells the story of how humble little sticks once lit up the world... literally and metaphorically. You can learn about match-making, factory life, and some surprisingly emotional history (from a political and even an artsy advertising kind of view). It’s oddly charming, heartwarming, slightly flammable, and wonderfully weird. Who knew matches could be this enlightening? 🇩🇪 Für deutsche Besucher/innen gibt's auch am Empfang ein Programmheft mit deutscher Übersetzung 🙃
Fenja N — Google review
In the early 19th century in Sweden, with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, "matches" became one of the most important daily necessities in the world at that time. Sweden gradually became a major match production center in the world due to its rich wood resources, advanced technology, and strong demand in domestic and foreign markets. •   In 1844, Swedish chemist Gustaf Erik Pasch invented the Safety Match, which was later improved and mass-produced by Johan Edvard Lundström. •   Jönköping was one of the first cities to establish a match factory and became a global match export center, especially in the second half of the 19th century to the early 20th century. Therefore, in order to preserve this highly symbolic industrial and social history, the local government and cultural institutions decided to set up a museum on the site of the old match factory. The Swedish Match Museum not only tells the history of a product, but also reflects the transformation of Swedish society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries - from an agricultural country to industrial modernization and a place in global trade. It is definitely worth visiting this museum in Jönköping. In addition to nostalgia and craftsmanship, it also makes people reflect on "how a small match ignites a country's history and its connection with the world."

This is the unique museum, I suppose the only in the world. It shows us the history of match manufacturing and real equipment for it. There are several rooms with exhibits, little shop with souvenirs. Also, I’ve taken free magazine and brochures to find out more about Swedish match factories and the region. We visited in winter, so the entrance was for free. Thank you for this opportunity! Very unusual but interesting.

Stadsparkgolfen

Miniature golf course
Nature & Parks

Ideal for families or gatherings of young adults, Stadsparkgolfen is an excellent choice due to its optimal level of challenge and size. While there may be superior options available for miniature golf in the vicinity, this venue is worth considering if you find yourself in the area seeking a more relaxed activity. The pricing is relatively fair, making it a viable option for those on a budget.

High Chaparral

Temporarily Closed
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Western-style park with a recreated town hosting live action stunt shows & fun learning experiences.
Very good for kids of all ages and grownups. It has something for everyone. A big plus are kid carts that you can rent at a very little cost and you can carry your kids everywhere. Won’t be bringing the stroller next time. A lot of food restaurants at decent prices
Roxana P — Google review
High Chaparral is so much more than a theme park — it’s a living, breathing memory machine. From the moment you step into the dusty streets lined with saloons and old Western facades, you’re transported to the world of cowboys, Native Americans, gold miners, and steam trains. Every little detail — the stagecoach rides, the wooden toys, the smell of smoke from the old steam engine — reminds you of legendary Westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Rio Bravo, Mackenna’s Gold, or Dances with Wolves. If you grew up watching shows like Zorro or reading Huckleberry Finn, this place will strike a deep nostalgic chord. The park brings to life the spirit of American frontier times with a Scandinavian twist — complete with exciting street performances, cowboy duels, and even a spicy Mexican food court that makes you feel like you’ve traveled from Michigan to Mexico City in minutes. It’s a celebration of cultural storytelling and imagination, filled with nods to film legends like Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Yul Brynner, and directors like John Ford. Whether you’re a family with kids or a grown-up looking to relive old movie dreams, High Chaparral is a beautifully designed, deeply emotional, and surprisingly authentic experience.

The shows are great, there are some nice restaurants. That are not overpriced so plus for that. The toy guns, hats and belts are not overpriced in the kids section. Before I come to the cons I understand that theme parks have to make money to pay for staff, maintenance and so on. But it's a bit pricey. 399kr for entry, 60kr for riding the train every singel time per person, 30kr to rent gold wash pan (you get a fake gold coin at the end so that is that). The bathrooms vary but the ones in the museum was not great and had the worse smell of sewer. Overall it's Okey, go for the shows.
Fredrik — Google review
Fantastic place to take the kids (both big and small!! 😉). Wonderful shows that don't take all afternoon (max 25 mins), stunts, singing and generally enjoyable. Shows are performed in Swedish (to be expected!) But it's OK not understanding the language as the acting makes up for it. The actors who come out to meet you after the shows do speak English as well and are all up for photos being taken. We paid extra for a second day (worth it!) As we didn't make it around for everything the first day. We went during 1 of the fellesferie weeks which meant it was really busy but we still hot to do everything and see everything so no complaints from us.

The IKEA Museum, located in Almhult, Sweden, is a must-see for design enthusiasts and fans of the retail giant. Opened in 2016 on the site of the world's first IKEA store, the museum offers hands-on exhibits, vintage catalogues, and retro displays that trace founder Ingvar Kampar's journey from vision to reality. It provides insight into Sweden's agricultural history and economic development while showcasing how IKEA revolutionized furniture accessibility and sustainability.
A great museum that I visited with a friend. The staff are friendly. It was interesting to dive into history. Some exhibits are interactive. In the same building, there is a restaurant with delicious food. On the ground floor, there are many souvenirs you can buy at the museum, with a wide selection

A really nice museum!! You can tell it was created with a lot of pride and love. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments saying it’s small. It’s not an art gallery where you spend four hours, but I still spent over two hours there. And it’s not about the time, the museum is really well organized, just like every IKEA store, with lots of details and notes about Ingvar Kamprad and the growth of IKEA. And don’t miss the merch store, it was also really nice!🇸🇪
María M — Google review
Wow!! I especially enjoyed the different decades of furniture on display. It is a comprehensive look at the principles that IKEA was founded on and how those same principles have been applied throughout its history. We also enjoyed the restaurant and also visited the actual Ilea store a few km away. I only wish that the movie had given a better background on when/how IKEA began, more about the founder’s background, etc. No trip in this area of Sweden is complete without a stop here.
Pam G — Google review
If you're a lover of IKEA, you'll enjoy visiting this place to learn about the history of this legendary furniture company. You'll also learn about it throughout the years and get to know its founder and how he started from the early beginning. One thing that can be improved is adding more lights arrows on the floor to guide you through the museum sequentially. The only thing I didn't like is the shop. I wished they offered magnets or keychains that contain the name of the place but found none.
Abrar T — Google review
This is a fantastic place to go if you are either an IKEA fan or a product design junkie. Since I am both, I was overjoyed to see how well designed and laid out this museum is and how detailed the exhibits are. I quite liked the background on their product design process, which included looking at the ergonomics of things like kitchen layouts. I would definitely put this on a par with the World of Volvo museum. This is a great place to visit with the whole family. The museum itself has a “workshop” suitable for kids, there is an Ikea hotel just across the parking lot with a communal kitchen on every floor (and plenty of games to borrow in the lobby), and a very unique (but still in the IKEA family) restaurant also off of the same parking lot.

Kirsi W — Google review
A really fun place for smaller kids and adults who are into the Brio Trains. The museum is based in the former head-office of Brio, so lots of history around the place. There are various rooms in which executions are placed but an equal amount of rooms where kids can play at there own leisure. There is a softplay room, at least 3 rooms full of Brio trains and tracks. Some of which have tables with pre-build tracks but there is also one where you can build your own layouts. There is a separate section on Barbie and there is a larger area on the Model Railway brand Märklin. Here there are a few model trains riding along the tracks, activated by the buttons you can press. There is also a small slide and climbing setup as well as a pingpong table to play with. There is no on-site restaurant, so make sure to bring your own lunch. The former company canteen still serves as a place to sit down and eat something. They do have some tea and coffee making facilities on site to provide something warm to drink. We spend almost a full day with maximum entertainment for our 3 year old. Who had a blast and did not want to leave. On your way out there is a toyshop aswell as a small area within the shop which sells some vintage, no longer avalible old Brio stock.

Rated 5 stars because my 3 year old son loved it and played with the different BRIO sets for 2,5 hours. Do not miss the room in the back. The Exibition is further a bit small, not much to see to be honest I feel they missed a chance to show a lot of all the different BRIO playsets released over the years, but instead it’s a collection of bridges and the first electric train.

Very fun to see the toys of the past and realize how many Swedish toys made it to America. Tomten area was a little scary at first, but really cool to see the toy making process with the real machines used in the past. Wonderful play areas! I almost missed the store - it is quite distant from the museum exit and not at all obvious. Signs are there if you know to look for them; probably a godsend to parents who don't want to visit the store every single time!

Nestled within a stunning forest wildlife park, this destination is home to majestic moose and American bison. You can choose between self-driving through the park or hopping on a charming mini-train for a guided tour—both options offer fantastic views of these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Feeding a moose was on my daughter’s bucket list, so today she made that a reality. This was a fun and educational activity. I highly recommend the moose safari. Seeing a moose up close and touchable is pretty cool. The gift shop has some great items and the restaurant has some tasty foods. Stop by if in Sweden for this adventure.

A great visit to see Sweden’s “King of the forest”. They have 11 moose (& a whole herd of American bison) for you to visit. You can either drive your own vehicle or join the small land train with guided tour- we have done both now on different visits & both are excellent. The animals are clearly in their natural habitat & very well cared for, although it is an enclosure. They also have a great cafe (waffles are recommended!), restaurant, gift shop, kids play park & goat petting area too.

A nice way to get up and close to these very beautiful animals. We took the car safari, because the train had already finished for the day, but that brought the option to go at our own pace with our own car. The bisons were impressive too, they're so big and even had a few babies around! The souvenir shop is lovely too, lots of little gifts to remember the trip by :).

It was a wonderful experience at the Moose Safari Park. I suggest to take the train over your own car for a better safari experience along with tour guide in English and Swedish.

After a trip in Sweden without having seen a moose we decided to go to this safari park. Taking the little train proved to be of added value. You get to feed the moose and this they come close. I would advice to go early on the morning. It was a warm day and moose don't like that, so they were hiding in the shade as from noon, so not even interested in the food. My kids of 10 and 13 loved it. The food in the restaurant was also pretty nice. Never had moose or bison before. So overall a nice 2 hour attraction, but it could feel expensive if the moose (11 at the moment) are not active.
Jonathan R — Google review
We drove in by car and most of the time you are just stuck behind the train tour. The poor moose must live in a constant cloud of car exhaust. The park seems incredibly compact and the bison area seemed very small when thinking of just how many bison there were. Maybe my expectations were too high when seeing a rating of 4.6, but I felt really disappointed. Not quite sure why this place has such good ratings?
Iben S — Google review
We really enjoyed seeing the mooses up close from the train. They came over and ate the leaves we offered them. The mooses were majestic and absolutely beautiful! So it was extremely shocking to hear our tour guide mention that you could eat the meat of murdered mooses in the restaurant and you could buy their meat in the gift shop. What a disgusting and horrendous thing to do in a park where people come to admire beautiful living animals!
Joanna M — Google review
Nice park and very friendly staff. We got some hotdogs and waffles in the restaurant. But be aware, if you drive with your own car into the park, then you most likely will be stuck behind one of their trains for a while, which can be quite annoying.

(Translated by Google) There are a number of walking routes - great for dog owners (and others). On the other hand, I miss garbage cans where you can put garbage (in any case, there could have been more) and especially for dog bags. There are plenty of parking spaces and when there are activities you can park in the meadows. (Original) Det finns en mängd promenadvägar - utmärkt för hundägare (och andra). Jag saknar däremot soptunnor där man kan lägga skräp (i varje fall kunde det ha varit fler) och särskilt då för hundpåsar. Det finns gott om parkeringsplatser och när det är aktiviteter kan man parkera på ängarna.

Kronborg Castle

Mentioned on 
58 lists 
Castle
Museums
Kronborg Castle, also known as Hamlet's Castle, is a 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece located in Helsingor, Denmark. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for being the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet.' The castle features baroque green-copper spires and is surrounded by moats and fortifications. Visitors can explore the inner palace's royal chambers, tapestries, ceiling paintings, and viewpoints.
Good: ✅ This is THE attraction in town. Beautiful property, castle, and engaging museum. ✅ Tailored visits. With a few hours on hand, pay admission and see it all. If short on time, walk the exteriors (amazing views) at no cost. Either journey is at your own pace. ✅ Well organized. There are sections of the castle with color-coded entrances from the main courtyard. A color-coded map is provided making it easy to make choices—see what you want. Caution: ❌ Obviously, a rainy day will alter the outdoor experience. However, for those paying admission, there is still so much to see inside. Summary: Aside from the adjacent cobblestone streets meandering through a charming cluster of shops and restaurants (an attraction on its own), the Kronborg Castle is the star attraction in town. An exploration will not disappoint.
Troy W — Google review
Kronborg Castle is one of the most impressive and atmospheric places I visited in Denmark. Overlooking the Øresund Strait, this UNESCO World Heritage site is not only visually stunning, but also packed with history and character. Known worldwide as “Hamlet’s Castle,” it fully lives up to its fame. The rooms and royal chambers are beautifully preserved, giving you a real sense of the grandeur of the Danish monarchy in the Renaissance era. But the highlight for me was exploring the dark, eerie casemates — the old military barracks beneath the castle. Walking through those damp, stone tunnels really brings the past to life. You can almost feel the presence of the soldiers who once took shelter there. And then there's Holger Danske, the legendary statue deep in the basement. According to Danish folklore, this mythical warrior sleeps under Kronborg Castle and will rise to defend Denmark in her time of need. Seeing the statue in the dim light down there added a magical, almost mythological touch to the whole experience. If you're into history, legends, or just want to explore a magnificent fortress with great views and an unforgettable atmosphere, Kronborg is absolutely worth the visit. Take your time — there’s a lot to discover.

Andrew K — Google review
Visiting Kronborg Castle was such a wonderful way to start our week in Denmark; we went on a Monday (during shoulder season) and it set the tone beautifully for our week ahead. The castle is located in the quaint town of Helsingør, about 45 minutes by train from central Copenhagen. The ride is comfortable and scenic, and from the station it’s a short walk into town and up to the castle grounds. We paid about 145 DKK for adult entry, students 125 DKK, and children under 18 were free. Kronborg dates back to the early 1420s when a fortress first stood here; later in the 16th century King Frederick II transformed it into the grand Renaissance castle you see today. The setting is dramatic: right at the narrowest point of the Øresund Strait, looking across toward Sweden, which explains its historic importance. The connection to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet adds a layer of legend and story: this very site inspired the “Elsinore” of the play. “To be, or not to be” seems almost to float in the air when you walk the corridors. We spent a few hours exploring and I’m so glad we didn’t rush; We enjoyed the whole castle, then ventured down into the crypts beneath the castle which felt a bit eerie, then examined the great halls, ramparts, the chapel and the sweeping views over the water. There’s a nice café inside and the gift shop nearby is well worth a browse and I found some beautiful keepsakes to take home. The town of Helsingør is charming, with historic buildings, small cafés and the sea at its doorstep; combining lunch in the town centre with our castle visit made for a really nice day out of the city. One important note: accessibility is limited; the castle has many stairs and no elevator, so it’s not ideal for wheelchairs. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 until 16:00 in the off-peak season; the castle is closed on Mondays. During spring and summer months the hours are extended and on major holidays special times apply, so it’s worth checking ahead. Summer weekends in particular can get busier; if you prefer quieter exploring aim for a weekday morning. If you’re in Copenhagen and craving a day trip with history, drama and stunning scenery, I highly recommend Kronborg Castle.

Few things you can say about Kronborg Castle other than incredible. There’s so much to see, experience, and learn here — the amount of history within these walls is astounding. The preservation work is truly impressive, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate this remarkable piece of Denmark’s heritage. I had an amazing time touring the castle and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A magical place full of history! Kronborg Castle is truly impressive - elegant, mysterious, and full of stories. The view of the sea is breathtaking, and it's easy to imagine Shakespeare's Hamlet walking through the halls. Beautiful architecture, calm atmosphere, and great exhibitions. Just make sure to dress warmly - it can be quite windy there, even in spring!

The M/S Maritime Museum in Helsingor, Denmark offers a unique underground experience showcasing the history of Danish seafaring and trade. The modern building provides an intriguing setting for exhibits on this maritime heritage. Located on the northeast coast of Zealand, it stands opposite Helsingborg, Sweden. The museum is a must-visit destination for those interested in delving into Denmark's rich seafaring past.
The museum was very informative and attractive. For adults and for the kids it's for everyone who wants to learn something about Danish maritime history. The museum shop was weak if I compare it with the Viking museum in Roskilde. But overall I definitely recommend this museum. Actually just for this museum you can come to Helsingør.
Yunus D — Google review
Worth a trip to Denmark! It’s not only worth a detour to finish your Copenhagen pass, it could be the cornerstone of your entire trip; according to the Michelin rating, it’s the top note! The museum is set in a dry dock, adorning an incredible architecture. Very kids friendly, with a huge playing area that also instructs, it offers a story within the story with a clandestine mouse that the kids have to hunt for. As for the adults, the museum is multifaceted, showing history, WWII, the influence of shipping, but also stunning models and a mesmerizing photo exhibit of sunk boats and their treasures. Tank to the team, always smiling as they provide answers to the most obscure questions, and the generous donators that made this museum possible. The shop offers quality products designed or made in Denmark. If the cafe is closed, there is a huge indoor food trucks area nearby! There’s more than Hamlet in Helsingør!

It was our second visit to the museum, which underwent an excellent renovation during the winter of 2024–spring 2025. We continue to love the place, as do our kids.

This museum is so much fun, it deserves all 5/5 stars. Not 4.5, not 4.7, but a proper 5. The effect the museum had on us is that our new dreamjob is to design museums about on the surface boring subjects. Making ships this interesting, quite the accomplishment. It was very interactive, we learned a lot and we loved finding the hidden mice 🐭 (and we're grownups!) Discovered this museum thanks to the CPH card, and would recommend anyone to make a stop here, along with the castle right next to it. Great stuff!

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
Super fun place to examine modern art. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of modern art but this place was a lot of fun. The sculpture garden was the highlight but in a very special way. Be sure to first experience seeing the sculptures from inside the museum as you peruse the other exhibits then experience them from the outside. This made me really appreciate how well the sculpture and the building integrates with each other and with the surrounding environment - both the rise and fall of the property and the background of the sea and sky. Just a superb experience.

About an hour by train outside of Copenhagen city centre and then 10 minutes walk from Humlebaek station. The ticket can be book online but it was also super easy to buy it on arrival with no queue when we go on Sunday midday. There are a little bit of outdoor sculptures and some indoor gallery. Nice view and some interesting displays. There are 2 gift shops, one on the ground floor and one downstairs. I had a fun train ride.

This museum is a wonderful reason to take a short trip and experience another side of Denmark beyond Copenhagen. It offers a great opportunity to focus on and appreciate the works of talented contemporary artists.

The train ride is about an hour from downtown Copenhagen.

We booked tickets in advance so we didn’t have to queue, which id recommend if you can. Loved the sculpture garden, definitely go on a dry day so you can make the most of the gardens and the views over the water. Wonderful cafe, with space to eat/drink outside in the sun. Great coffee. Beautiful shop with loads of fab design based gifts, art prints, ceramics, books and accessories. Cloakroom space through the back of the shop to store bags and coats in lockers is so useful. A card machine is available for those without local coins to use.

Andrew K — Google review
Visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art was one of the highlights of our Copenhagen trip; it made for such a beautiful day out of the city. The museum is located in Humlebæk, about 35–40 minutes north of Copenhagen. We took the train and the journey was quick, scenic and very comfortable; once you arrive it’s only a short 10 walk from the station to the entrance ( just follow the crowd) The museum first opened in 1958 and was created with the vision of making modern art accessible in a place where people could experience it alongside nature rather than in a formal or intimidating setting. The architecture is stunning! Designed by Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert, and the layout feels thoughtful and calm. There are long corridors of glass, open courtyards, natural light everywhere and pathways that lead you between indoor gallery spaces and the outdoors. It’s the kind of building where you notice something beautiful around every corner. The museum is known for showcasing both international and Danish modern and contemporary artists. They have an incredible permanent collection, and new exhibitions are rotated throughout the year so there is always something fresh to experience. The sculpture garden overlooking the sea might have been my favourite part; walking through the garden with large scale artworks and hearing the ocean just behind them felt very special. Inside there are two places to eat: one café outdoors along the sculpture garden path, and one beautiful indoor restaurant with large windows facing the ocean. We stopped at the restaurant and enjoyed a glass of wine and something delicious to eat while looking out over the coastline; such a peaceful moment in the middle of exploring. There is also a fantastic gift shop filled with design pieces, prints, books and souvenirs. Perfect if you want to take something home to remember your visit. This museum is big; we spent nearly the entire day there and I’m glad we didn’t rush. We took our time walking through the exhibitions, stopping for breaks, sitting outside, and exploring the gardens. It is absolutely the kind of place where slowing down makes the experience even better. Entry tickets cost 145 DKK for adults, with students holding a valid student card paying 125 DKK. Children and young adults under 18 have free entry. We bought our tickets on arrival and there was no wait at all, which made our visit feel relaxed from the start. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 22:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00; the museum is closed on Mondays. I imagine summer weekends are the busiest, so if you prefer a quieter experience, weekdays are probably ideal. A quote that came to mind while wandering around was “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” It felt fitting, because this place truly lifts something inside you. If you are visiting Copenhagen and want a day where art, architecture and nature come together beautifully, I highly recommend coming here. It’s calming, inspiring and incredibly memorable; I would happily return again.

Lovely museum situated in a gorgeous place looking out on the ocean and Sweden. Loved some of the art, hated some of the art - the perfect modern art experience. The grounds were fun to explore and linked together with the sculptures and exhibition wings beautifully. Amazing shop as well, I wish I had more money as I would happily take most of it home

The Øresund Bridge, opened in 2000, is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the coast of Sweden to an artificial island with a tunnel leading to Denmark. It is the longest bridge in Europe and consists of both a motorway and railway line. The bridge spans 8km across the Øresund strait to an artificial island before transitioning into the Drogden Tunnel, which extends underwater for an additional 4km.
What a piece of human technology and engineering! It’s costly but it’s worth to see it and drive it. If you are in Copenhagen, it’s probably a good idea to visit Malmo too!

The train from Copenhagen Airport to Malmö, Sweden, is incredibly convenient. It crosses the Øresund Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden, offering smooth, scenic views along the way in just about 30 minutes. Travelers visiting Copenhagen should carry their passports, as border checks may occur. The bridge also accommodates cars, making it an essential link between the two countries. It stands as an impressive example of modern engineering and technology, symbolizing the strong connection between Denmark and Sweden..

Love it — Öresundsbron is a striking feat of Scandinavian engineering—a combined cable-stayed bridge and tunnel linking Copenhagen, Denmark, with Malmö, Sweden. It spans nearly 8 kilometers over the Øresund Strait before descending into the 4-kilometer Drogden Tunnel. Its sleek pylons and elegant symmetry embody Nordic minimalism and functionality. Visiting offers breathtaking sea views and a tangible sense of crossing between nations and cultures.

The Øresund Bridge is an impressive feat of engineering, seamlessly connecting Denmark and Sweden with stunning views over the strait. Whether crossing by train or car, the experience feels smooth, efficient, and scenic. The combination of bridge and tunnel is unique and adds to the sense of scale. It’s not cheap to cross by car, but the convenience and beauty make it worthwhile. A must-see landmark for travelers in the region.

Very neat, we crossed coming back to Copenhagen from Malmo. We even stopped to take some better pictures on the Sweden side.

I took a train from Copenhagen Airport to Malmö, Sweden, and it couldn’t have been easier! The train crosses the Øresund Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden — the ride itself is smooth and takes only about 30 minutes. There are helpful staff at CPH Airport who guide you on how to buy tickets or use the kiosks, so it’s very traveler-friendly. I went to Malmo, Sweden mainly to visit the Apple Store for a battery replacement (since Copenhagen doesn’t have an official Apple Store, only authorized resellers). The trip was quick, convenient, and a nice little cross-border experience —Highly recommend it if you’re in Copenhagen, have a few hours to kill, and your iPhone decides it needs a little Swedish vacation for battery therapy. 🇸🇪🔋😄

Øresund bridge is a stunning feat of engineering. God attempted to keep the Danes and Swedes apart when he created the Øresund, but the unbreakable spirit of man prevailed to keep the two nations connected in a unique and inspiring way. Today the bridge carries both road and rail passengers, allowing those who own or do not own cars to make this once perilous journey in an easy and convenient fashion. I took my bike on the train to cycle in Sweden from Malmö up to Helsingborg before taking the ferry back over to the homeland of the cinnamon roll. The journey was quick, easy, and convenient. I could've easily been on the Elizabeth line or any other form of easily accessible rail in the UK or across Europe. Isambard Kindom Brunel would be proud of such a feat of engineering. I'm sure his modern contemporaries are.

Travelling under Øresund Bridge via train was an incredible experience! The fact you can see out to sea and see as the lands of Denmark 🇩🇰 fade away and Sweden 🇸🇪 appear was a beautiful moment. When travelling from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 or England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to France 🇫🇷, these types of crossings by train are usually underground so it was particularly special to see this!
