Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Fortress
Historical landmark
Kalmar Castle, situated in the city of Kalmar in Sweden's Smaland province, is a captivating historical site that offers visitors a glimpse into its 800-year history. This Renaissance fortress boasts fairy-tale turrets, a drawbridge, and even a foul dungeon with secret passages. The castle played a pivotal role in Scandinavian politics, notably during the formation of the Kalmar Union in 1397. Guided tours are available to help visitors appreciate the significance of this magnificent relic.
There are so many things to see and learn inside the castle, it is probably one of the main tourist site you HAVE to visit while in Sweden, at least if you are fond of history and architecture. You could spend the whole day inside and never feel tired. The castle' state of conservation is truly remarkable and the depiction of life in the middle age/renaissance is astounding. It is obvious the staff worked overtime to provide such a level of precision. Don't forget to look up for the ceilings, they are beautiful. I visited the castle during the Häxor exhibit and it was both immersive and moving, even for a foreigner, I can't even comprehend the amount of work that was needed to create such a masterpiece, even the poster is a work of art. I don't know who directed it but they are very talented. When you're done visiting, climb up the walls and enjoy the view. All in all, I came back with 400 pictures of the castle, that speaks for itself. It is hands down one of the best places in Sweden.
Stanislas T — Google review
Don't miss the castle if visiting Kalmar! The mummy exhibition is both interesting and fascinating at the same time. Make sure to set aside a half day if you want to go through the castle & mummy exhibition the same day. Comfortable shoes, you will be stepping stones for hours. The park outside the castle is very nice to relax in. You can find rare trees and flowers planted there, each with a little sign of name and year it was planted. Some are very old.

This was our second visit, and we loved it again. They have fun stuff for kids to do, and the castle itself is interesting to explore. The food in the café is good and reasonably priced. The staff all speak English and many seemed to speak German as well (and Swedish, obviously).
Deirdre M — Google review
Beautiful castle but no way worth the entrance fee. Perhaps if you want the 'included' guided tour or you have small kids to take on the challenges, or you really want to see a random Egyptian exhibition it might be worth the money, but if you want a self guided tour and learn about the history of the castle yourself it's not worth the fee. Recommendation - charge a more reasonable base entrance fee then people extra if they want a guided tour or to enter the Egyptian exhibition.
Mike B — Google review
Liked: - Even though it is largely reconstructed, its exteriors are a view. - Their guided tours are nice, even if not the best. - Kids can enjoy at least for 3-4h, so it is a plus. Lacked: - A comprehensive timeline chart like the one in Borgholm slot. - A clear and chronological understanding of the exhibition of Kalmar slott history.

So so castle as European castles go. Probably interesting for kids, but the “restored” rooms were nothing spectacular. It took less than an hour to see it all.

A quick travel in time to see how Kalmar's nobility lived in the 18th centery. A lovely little garden with a little Caffè where one can buy some typical Swedish pastries and sandwiches. One can also enjoy a picknick on the soft grass. The place is well taken care of. The lavatories where clean. There is a nice little exhibition of how people used to live there (what is on regular display are the servants area). One should check the dates as at special occasions tours of the inside of the house are offered.

Really cosy place for coffee and cookies outside. Maybe not the best accessability for ppl with disabilities. Pretty good coffee, not the most varied menu (if u want vegan latte, go elsewhere) but like I said damn cosy and calm - bushes between tables and so on.

The Giraffe Shopping centre has recently undergone a big renovation. This has proved very successful, with the concept clearly made for shopping comfort and convenience. There are three excellent parking areas, adjacent to all three entrances. Well kept toilets in convenient places. Fika is plentiful and there are also two large luncheon buffet restaurants on very good standards and prices. I congratulate the architects and planners, but also the current management for keeping the customer in first place.
Joseph S — Google review
Good sized shopping centre with plenty of car parking. You'll have no trouble parking car and caravan or large mobile home. The centre and it's close proximity will provide a fuel stop, mobile phone providers, groceries, cafes, clothing shops, alcohol shop and a hobby shop. Great one stop shop for The Tourist to fulfill all your needs in Kalmar.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Kalmar Cathedral, a stunning piece of history located in the heart of Kalmar, Sweden, was built between 1660 and 1703 by renowned architect Nicodemus Tessin. Inspired by Italian Baroque churches, this over 400-year-old cathedral continues to captivate visitors with its size and grandeur. Situated on the main square Stortorget, it is considered one of the most beautiful baroque churches in Sweden.
🇸🇪 An architectural gem by Nikodemus Tessin the Elder that every art and culture lover should see in Kalmar 🎨 Tessin also worked on Borgholm Castle and was the architect of the Stockholm and Drottningholm Palaces. 👑 Religious art is admirable in this cathedral ✝️ Classical music and organ concerts are equally breathtaking experiences for those who love classical music 🎶

This place is wonderful and worthy of your time. It's located quite close to center.

The location is excaptionally good. Easy to find with lovely views, however I feel the place is a missed potential. It's small, with only a few stores, not much to choose from. If you need something quickly then it's fine, but if you're looking to spend a few hours browsing and looking around then this place is just too small.

Kama Sushi

3.7
(111)
Sushi restaurant
Kama Sushi is a delightful gem in Kalmar, renowned for its fresh and flavorful sushi offerings. While it may not be the most luxurious option, it certainly delivers on quality and taste at an affordable price. The cozy atmosphere is complemented by friendly staff who ensure a pleasant dining experience. Many patrons appreciate the convenience of online ordering, making takeout a breeze—especially when customizing orders to suit personal preferences. From perfectly cooked rice to fresh salmon, every bite is satisfying.
Salmon is fresh, rice just tastes perfect. Worth the little bit of wait, will try to order online and pickup next time.
Joe L — Google review
The sushi is a bit up and down in quality unfortunately, but when they get it right it's really good. Avoid rush hour and you will usually be fine I would say. Sometimes it helps to order in advance it feels like the have the option to put some more time in it then but might just be a coincidence. Usually don't do mayo on sushi but theirs is great, a bit small but good. Had to ask for eating sticks, and there's no napkins either so that could improve. Sitting there isn't great tho, it's really small so for 2 ppl it works fine, when you are more it becomes a little tight.

(Translated by Google) Real disappointment! We took take away with a total of 38 pieces of sushi and they were really bad. Uneven pieces, way too strong siracha mayo and crab sticks did not look appetizing at all, they had folded a large stick like a caterpillar and it just looked disgusting! Small rolls and barely any soy. The miso soup was barely lukewarm from the container in the restaurant. The salmon was on the verge of being edible at all. It's been a long time since we ate there and I regret not choosing another place, incredibly disappointing! (Original) Riktig besvikelse! Vi tog take away med totalt 38 bitar sushi och de va riktigt kasst. Ojämna bitar, alldeles för stark siracha mayo och krabbsticks såg inte aptitligt ut alls, de hade vikt en stor stick som en larv och det såg bara vidrigt ut! Små rullar och knappt någon soya. Miso soppan va knappt ljummen från behållaren i restaurangen. Laxen va på gränsen till ätlig över huvudtaget. Länge sedan vi åt där och ångrar att vi inte valde annat ställe, otroligt tråkigt!
Maja V — Google review
(Translated by Google) Unfriendly staff, long waiting times even though there are plenty of staff. Sometimes you get very small pieces but little rice and sometimes big, high prices for the sushi and you don't get any accessories on the sushi. You get very little soy if you order to take home. Bad at setting and clearing the tables when you eat on site. (Original) Otrevlig personal, lång väntetid fast det finns gott om personal. Ibland får man jättesmå bitar men lite ris och ibland stora, höga priser för sushin och man får inga tillbehör på sushin. Man får väldigt lite soja om man betställer med sig hem. Dåliga på och duka av borden när man äter på plats.
Stephanie N — Google review
(Translated by Google) Absolutely the worst experience. No good service. I was supposed to order 2 rolls and accidentally ordered 3, so when I call in they say I will get a refund but when I get to the store they say they will send a gift card and can't refund because it was me who made the mistake. Not only that, I get a box to bring two rolls.. (Original) Absolut sämsta upplevelsen. Ingen bra service. Jag skulle beställa 2 rullar och råkade beställa 3, så när jag ringer in så säger de att jag ska få återbetalning men när jag kommer till butik så säger de att de ska skicka hem ett presentkort och kan inte betala tillbaka för att det var jag som gjorde fel. Inte nog med det så får jag en ta med låda till två rullar..

(Translated by Google) This is the best sushi I have eaten, lived in Kalmar and moved 3 years ago to Gothenburg and every time I come to Kalmar I have to have this sushi, haven't found anything better than this, open in Gothenburg!!!

I had a delightful dining experience at Bryggan. The meal was highly enjoyable, with delectable and flavorsome dishes. The chai latte and coffee were outstanding in taste and quality. The restaurant's ambiance was particularly inviting, situated in a charming location overlooking the sea. The pasta offered was exceptionally tasty, boasting excellent flavor and perfectly cooked noodles. I look forward to returning to sample other items on the diverse menu. Despite its limited options, there was something for everyone during our weekend visit.

Food and atmosphere is lovely but for no reason I was placed upstairs even though there were plenty of tables upstairs. Waitress was also serving outside so she was hardly present.

The service was good, and the restaurant was in a good area with the interior also being exceptional. The waitress was really nice, I have no complaints about her. Unfortunately, the food was one of the worst things me and my gf have ever eaten. For the price, NO WAY is it worth it. My total ended up being over $100 for a few things. The pasta we ordered (two kinds) were covered in grease and fat. I would not recommend this to anyone. The pasta is in the picture. I don’t remember exactly what it was called, but it had something to do with butter. We didn’t finish any of it.

Restaurant at a good location and with a cozy feel to it. So the potential is there but unfortunately the food was not good. Pasta Carbonara was literally floating in bacon grease and the stuffed chicken fillet was dry and had very little to almost no filling. In addition to ghat it came plated looking like a child did it. Waitress was baffled over us not being happy with the food.
