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.

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 🎶

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

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!!!

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.

Beautiful place. Above all, a wonderful view and an interesting environment full of birds that nest here. The only minus I give behind the road that connects the squid and the island of Öland are heard for a great distance, that's why one doesn't enjoy it completely absorbed by nature

A huge huge car prak surrounded by equally huge and soulless shopping barns. Same boring shops on offer as in every similar carpar shopping centre, or should one call them "shocking centres"? Bored people drifting around aimlessly buying things they don't need (for money they don't have). An interesting swedish phenomena. Meanwhile, the beautiful city centre of Kalmar empty and dead. Killed by removing the ability for easy access (no parking, draconian parking fines, one way streets and weird road blockages).

Convenient and friendly. You can almost buy everything especially electronics at cheap prices from here. Bet you have come up with same problem as me electronic sockets yea they are completely different here so bet you wanna buy it from media mart only....

The prototypical giant, auto-centric shopping center on the edge of town. Not easy to walk, bike, or bus in this giant complex. Please shop small and local, and support the downtown shops and restaurants if they offer what you want.

Good stuff with very affordable prices. And you can even get your purchase(s) delivered to your home for a pittance. Only open two days a week, on Saturday and Wednesday. Very much worth a visit if your looking for specifics or even if you just want to have a look. Furniture, kitchen stuff, lamps, clothes and so on and so on.

Skälby 4H-gård is a beloved destination in Kalmar, offering a delightful experience for families. The farm features various animals including rabbits, chickens, goats, cows, horses, pigs, and geese. Visitors can enjoy interacting with the animals at the petting area and even leave their bunnies at the rabbit hotel when needed. Families often gather in the spacious park during summer and autumn for activities and barbecues.
This place is so much fun. You get pat goats, sheeps, rabbits and kids get to ride horse for a short walk. Please be respectful to the animals and don't chase them. Also make sure to close the gates securely after. They have a nice cafe and blueberry pie is amazing! I bought their honey too. Great for families with kids. There is a bus that goes near it, and its a 7 minute walk to the place.

It is one of our favourite places in Kalmar. They have a rabbit hotel where you can leave your bunny in their care if you can't arrange a caretaker in your absence. Send them a mail to enquire about the availability and booking. There's a petting area where you can pet their rabbits and hamsters. Other than rabbits, they also have chickens, goats, cows, horses, pigs, and geese. They've a huge park where families gather during summer and autumn to play and eat (BBQ).

Expensive but bigger than I anticipated (bigger than Stellas in Skövde) and friendly staff. Felt fresh and well taken care off. Didn't come here with high expectations having read other reviews and was pleasantly surprised. Felt weird to be limited to 3 hours but in case it was enough for my kids. However in Stellas we often spent 5+ hours for less.

Stensö Camping & Fritid AB offers ample parking for mobile homes in a picturesque forest of grand, aged trees. The well-equipped service house includes showers at no additional cost.

Despite some areas being poorly managed, the camping grounds provide shaded pitches for tents and convenient picnic tables. The reception is friendly and it serves as an ideal base to explore Kalmar and Oland.

There were a lot of people, but we found a nice quiet spot for our tent. We also had a large dog with us. There were plenty of services available. In the evening, it was lovely to walk along the forest trail near the shoreline. The toilets didn’t work well with the card. The toilets and showers were clean.

If you like a noisy camping, choose this camping! Staff told me to send an email to manager, see below, never got an answer. Do not go to this camping. We have just stayed our first night of three booked nights at your camping site Stenso near Kalmar, but we want to leave already and would like a refund for the two coming nights we will not use. We had a very bad experience, there was so much noise it kept us awake till three in the night. It was all kind of noise: people throwing glass in the bin, people talking very loud, laughing out loud, loud music. It was not just one family we could go to; it appeared to us that on this camping it seems normal not respect each other and your other campers and just think of your own pleasure. Because this is not what to expect from a campingsite (it was the first time it happened to me in this way), it seems apparant to refund the money for the coming two nights, for we did not get what you could expect from a camping in our opinion.

Friendly staff, perfect location (close to the city, small forest en beaches on walking distance) and the best showers and toilet building (the one down the hill) I have had so far during the camping visits in Sweden. The only downside was the price at around 370 SEK for 1 person with a tent and bike.

Around service house number 2 there was a lot of spacious parkings for mobil homes, all of them in a lovely forest of big old trees. The service house was well equipped, and showers included in the price. But there were only 2 washing machines for all guests, really disappointing and lower the scores. Many other details were sloppily managed.

Nice camping with many shadow pitches for tents, some picknicktables and friendly reception👌🏼 Perfect base to explore Kalmar and Öland. We were closest to Servicehus 2 but it was not so good, muddy, moldy and smelly old showers. Kitchen was fine. Other service areas are better, there’s one shiny new one (4 I think) worth the extra steps to it!

March 2021 + good location, close to the city, in beautiful forest, nearby there is long and nice walking trail + kind guy on hotline ;) + unlimited showers - the toilets are really dirty! They are also pretty small - kitchen has 1 square meter! There is also no dining place under the roof. - camping spots are damaged by tires of big cars, the lawn is not well-kept. - The price is ridiculous! 360Sek per night is unacceptable!

The food is honestly mediocre and there are definitely better Asian buffets in Kalmar as it is, so this one is a hard pass. Our visit was also soured by the fact that a person in the personal thought it appropriate to try and get the number of my spouse, even though we were eating there together. Find it kind of a bad policy that the personal are standing about "checking out" their costumers, gives an honestly creepy vibe.

An absolute surprise! I’d heard that the museum was quite good, but we were really impressed, especially with the level of detailed and how the storyline and artifacts were displayed in the Kronan man of war ship exhibit. We also were mesmerized by the information on the Iron Age ring forts and the massacre at Sandy Borge. Excellent museum!!
Pam G — Google review
Unfortunately, like a lot of historical sites in this part of Sweden, this museum just felt like it was lacking a lot. I thought the entrance fee was really pricey for the experience itself. There was very little history about the town and region of Kalmar, the only artefacts being based purely on a single shipwreck from the 17th century. Most of the museum felt catered towards young children, though I doubt most young children have much of an interest for this kind of history. Layout was kind of confusing and difficult to follow. It wasn’t terrible, but I would not recommend it, save your money.

Quite superb service! A beverage was on the table in 2 minutes!

I'm from the southwestern U.S., and I know tacos! These were really, really good. And the margarita was superb. Shaken, not on the rocks! Well balanced, and pleasingly frothy. The only downside was the stale, Tostito (?) chips, and no house-made refried beans. Those are two key elements that would have made this place perfect. My server was friendly and efficient!

The food was so bad and we have to leave it. We ordered two tacos and wanted to try chicken and beef and both of them feel like it was too old and it even smells so bad. We actually tried before and did complain to the one on the reception and we thought it would be fixed because it’s an easy fix but nothing has changed.

It was a nice place for lunch. The food was fine and tasty. If you are vegetarian you should look for the green menu. They have lots of different vegetarion options. If you want to drink a cocktail but are not in the mood for alcohol I can recommend the nonalcolic pina colada. I was a bis sceptical but the taste was really good.

Very nice inviroment and the stuff was very kind. The Menu is kind of a mess a bit. The drinks was good. As for the food it was ok. I am a bit disappointed, as i would like a bit less salad and extra meet. Nothing really special as it's feels like homemade...

Recently opened and trendy new Mexican restaurant. Paid about 120kr for four "grande" soft tacos with chips and guacamole. My friend got the mix plate that includes a hard taco and an enchilada for around 90kr. The enchilada was really good! There's a salad bar as well. Great place to get your Mexican food craving filled.

Amazing food, friendly staff, and great service make this restaurant the best taco place in Kalmar. I especially recommend the quesadilla for a quick and delicious lunch.

IT took us more than half an hour to order our drinks. Our food was served cold and it was not fresh. Looks like it was heated up in the oven after getting out of the fridge. The staff was oké, they tried to do their best but they looked like they didn’t have any experience. The chef brought our food but was very rude because I didn’t understanding her.

We looked for a friendly and easygoing environment for my mom's birthday (just me and her for dinner) and we could not have picked a better place. Food was fenomenal, and the service was exceptional. We ordered one of the 3 cours menues and added some extras on top of it, and the meats were increadibly tasty, cooked raw (as we asked) and the sauces were lovely. Mark (half Swedish half Italian) helped us throughout and spent lots of time chatting with us. We loved it all, and the experience was the best we could have hoped for. Thank you for making my mom's birthday so lovely!

Cannot believe all the good reviews. Our main course was RAW stir fry vegetables (red bell pepper, broccoli, baby corn) sat in a beef gravy like some confused attempt at Asian/French fusion dining. (Think Rachel from friends making a beef trifle) I had to google and ask my sister (a head chef) if this was a thing… it’s not. I’m just trying to work out if the reviews are generated by bots. I was also very uncomfortable watching the owner drag a waitress around by her wrist. All in all a very poor experience.

It was special eating with old friends we hardly ever see so we went expecting to have a good evening, but friendly and attentive service, a relaxed and welcoming environment and, not least, delicious food - especially recommend the hot platter scampi - and very reasonable prices made it an evening to remember.

Restaurant
Located in the basement of the historic Rosenlund house dating back to 1654, Rosenlundska Källaren is a charming restaurant and bar offering a cozy setting for a delightful dining experience. The bar features locally crafted beers, malt whiskey, and rum, while the menu showcases a blend of exciting flavors and classic dishes made with seasonal and predominantly Swedish ingredients. The informal yet kind staff adds to the classy vibe of this centuries-old basement restaurant.
This lovely restaurant deserves all five stars and then an extra because it was exceptional on all levels. We had 3 courses and each was creative and delicious. And the service was top notch. Our experience was amazing!

I wish I could give more stars! My partner and I are vegan, and this might have been the nicest experience I’ve had eating at a restaurant that’s not exclusively vegan. The choice is much larger than I would normally expect from this type of higher end restaurant. You can tell that the people working there have thought about the customer experience, it was really pleasant. The food was so tasty too! I’m normally a fast eater but I tried to eat as slow as I could to really savour it.
Thomas M — Google review
It's very cosy and welcoming to be a basement. Got attention and was taken cared of directly inside the door. It's an atmosphere of "homemade" here. Even the hamburger and hamburger bred is baked locally. For it's price this place is considering to deliver great quality food with serviceminded personnel.
Tobias A — Google review
I’ve dined at over 900 restaurants in my life, and this absolute disaster of a place ranks firmly in the bottom three. Shocking. The food? Bland, soggy, clearly frozen – and then microwaved into oblivion. I waited nearly an hour before having to ask for my starter, which arrived stone cold. My wine? Warmer than a bloody teapot. Room temperature would’ve been a luxury. How this place has a 4.4 out of 5 rating is beyond me – it’s absurd. I’m genuinely appalled. I still felt sick the day after, just thinking about what they served. And don’t get me started on the ‘crisps’ with red onion and bacon crème – what in God’s name was that? It looked like it was slapped together by a toddler. Soft, lifeless, and absolutely vile. Disgusting from start to finish. If this is anyone’s idea of a five-star restaurant, I fear for their taste buds. Save yourself the trauma – avoid at all costs.

Tastefully decorated restaurant located in an old cellar. They serve basic but perfectly cooked food made from local and homemade products. (We haven't used the following options, but they even offer a vegetarian alternative for every headcourse, and they have a kids menu) They also offer various brands of whiskey, for the enthusiasts. Friendly and informal service with a smile. All together an excellent price/quality ratio. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Söderport is a charming bar and restaurant located in the Old Town, just opposite Kalmar Castle. It's open year-round, offering a varied menu with options like burgers, pizza, and Cevapi. In the summer, it's open every day while in winter it opens for dinner a few evenings each week. The venue also hosts diverse concerts from Blues and Jazz to Pop, Indie, Rock and Standup.
I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because I was so positively impressed. We were promptly seated at a free table. The service was excellent and exceptionally friendly. The negative reviews are difficult to understand. Most complaints were about long wait times, which was not our experience at all. The food was incredibly delicious; it's been a long time since we've enjoyed a meal this much. The prices are in the mid-range, offering excellent value for such superb food.

Do go there if you’re in a rush. Waited 50min to be served. Food is good, service too stressed. All you get is a “oh I thought I brought the menu already”, after 35min waiting. I was close to leave. Better check for food allergies yourself, as mine had peanuts on them, no English menu

Beautiful scenery and friendly staff. BUT we waited 30 min. on our beverages to begin with. Then we waited 1 hour and 30 minutes on our foods. We were 2 adults and one child. The table beside us ordered after us and got their food before us. Every table did. The food tasted nice, but not worth the 1,5 hour wait. This was on a Sunday where almost everything is closed in Sweden.

A World of Dinosaurs is truly something extra! Hidden in a huge barn outside Kalmar city nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see. The number of dinosaurs, and the scale of the exhibition, is truly amazing. As an adult I'm struck by awe at the sheer size of these dinosaur. And my kids are ecstatic! Dad, look!!! What's that dinosaurs' name? And so on. That is until we enter the area with moving dinosaurs. Then they wanna hold my hand and stay pretty quiet for a while. Being a dad is amazing. At the end we shop dinosaur souvenirs and toys in the store at great value. This was our forth visit. See you soon again!

The price is very high compared with the level already seen from outside. A lot of replicas marked as “genuine” in the store. We were bit interested what they could offer inside but got scared away as they even charge children with full price, 225kr/person, a family of 4 has to pay 900kr! Don’t understand how they could get such high rate in google…

Overpriced, tacky, bizzare. Should have seen it comming, but all the good reviews here clouded my judgement. It's probably the worst dinosaur themed exhibition I've ever been to (and I've seen a lot) and also the worst spend 900SEK (!!!!) of my whole life. Don't get fooled by the reviews, they offer some kind of cheap plastic toy, if you rate them.
Karolína G — Google review
Super kitzch tourist trap, greatly overpriced and vastly overrated, but if you have little kids they'll probably love it. He's got a few exemplary fossils, but for the most part it's poorly made replicas, homemade art, and rubber mockups. You are herded thru a twisty path with obnoxious animal(dino) sounds blaring in the speakers. The main room is impressive for showing scale, but the sauropods (as many of the other replicas) aren't even anatomically correct. All in all, a big laugh that we will definitely remember, but not worth the entry price or the two hour drive we took to see it.
