With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Kalmar, 25 miles away, has to offer. Ikea, Kalmar Castle and Hansa City alone justify the drive out here. Don’t miss Växjö either! Just 35 miles away, Grand Samarkand Shopping Center, Swedish Glass Museum and Vaxjo Cathedral are non-negotiable stops here.
