With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Kalmar, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Ikea, Kalmar Castle and Hansa City. Located 35 miles away, Karlskrona is another popular option. If you drop by, don’t miss NKT Arena Karlskrona, Fredrikskyrkan and Naval Museum.
