With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Kalmar, 30 miles away, has to offer. Ikea should be high up on your list here. Kalmar Castle and Hansa City are interesting attractions too. Located 30 miles away, Oskarshamn is another place to aim for. If you stop by, be sure to check out Village of Stensjo, Arena Oskarshamn and Doderhultar Museum.
