Copyright: Destination KalmarOld Town in Kalmar
In the heart of Kalmar, a short distance from the imposing Kalmar Castle, lies the quaint Old Town, offering a glimpse into the city's truly ancient past. Characterised by narrow, winding lanes and impeccably preserved 17th-century red-and-white cottages and buildings, this enclave transports visitors to a bygone era. The Old Town arose from the ashes of the original medieval settlement, which succumbed to fire in the 1600s and stands as a charming testament to Kalmar's historical roots.
