With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Karlskrona, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be NKT Arena Karlskrona, Fredrikskyrkan and Naval Museum. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Växjö, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Grand Samarkand Shopping Center. (But we’d also recommend Swedish Glass Museum and Vaxjo Cathedral.)
