What travellers are saying
- shannonvet64Saint Louis, MO141 contributionsI made arrangements prior to our grand tour of Norway, Sweden and Denmark to have a PRIVATE evening tour of the Kalmar Castle. This was most definitely one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our trip to Scandinvia!Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abundance_of_milesStockholm, Sweden277 contributionsApart from the castle, this is another "must" when visiting Kalmar. The exhibition on the sunk man-of-war Kronan is a good learning experience in many ways - the historic significance of the ship, how it sunk, how people lived on-board in the late 17th century and not the least naval archeology exploring the wreck. Lots of original founds are shown including a large number of bronze cannons.
Don't miss out on the small but interesting exhibition on Sandby Borg a massacre in the Iron Age ring fort on Öland - scary to see, but fascinating what stories can be told almost 1000 years after.
After 2 hours we needed to digest all information and left - we will return for the remainder!Written 22 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Suitable for all ages,
Even though remotely located, I accessed by public transport. Just 10m from the gate.
Staff on hand to help with pushchairs, on two short flights of stairs.Written 8 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is between small streets so you cannot see the top of the tower in one go.Written 29 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fredrik ALinköping, Sweden61 contributionsVery nice bridge. A really good view on both Kalmar and Öland.

- R0hanLAmman Governorate, Jordan712 contributionsOur hotel was adjacent to the park and we walked across the road to access a great park that our kids were able to play in. After that we walked to the castle through beautiful gardens that were clearly well cared for. Our kids were able to run on the grass and play hide and seek, which they thoroughly enjoyed. It was a lovely thing to do in the late afternoon given the beautiful weather and grounds.Written 29 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GonkerMarbella, Spain6 contributionsJust a great thing to do. A fantastic circuit out by the airport in Kalmar. In a beautiful location so even a nice place to be even if not racing.
The team at HyrKart could not be more helpful and welcoming. Kart’s are brand new for 2020 and they proved everything you need. Great value, great fun. Just go!Written 13 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Despite there being only 2 exhibitions open, there was lots of different types of media to consume, essays, art, videos, music etc.
The exhibitions we did see were very interesting, being relevant to the local area and also society as a whole. Also it was very fairly priced!Written 19 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
