Västerås kommun: The Absolute Essentials

Västerås, one of Sweden's oldest cities, features a concentrated collection of historic and cultural landmarks. The city is home to Scandinavia’s largest burial mound at Anundshög and the 13th-century Västerås Cathedral. Royal heritage is preserved in the nearby Strömsholm, Tidö, and Ängsö castles. Within the urban center, the 65-meter-tall Town Hall tower dominates the skyline, while the Vallby Friluftsmuseum preserves Västmanland’s rural architecture. Green spaces like the historic Botanical Garden and the lakeside Stadsparken offer central retreats alongside the city's medieval market squares.
