Örebro

Örebro is a charming mid‑sized city in south-central Sweden, nestled by the small river Svartån as it flows into Lake Hjälmaren. It is the capital of Örebro county with roughly 126,000 residents in the urban area. Founded in the 13th century at a vital river crossing, its name literally means “bridge over gravel banks.” Örebro quickly grew into a medieval trade hub.

A crown jewel of the city is Örebro Castle, a fortress dating back to the late 1200s, perched on an island in the Svartån River. Expanded over centuries it remains a powerful symbol of the city history. Other historic gems include the Gothic Saint Nicholas Church from the late 13th century and the charming wooden houses of Wadköping.

Despite its rich heritage, Örebro is a modern, accessible city from Stockholm (200 km), Gothenburg (280 km) and Oslo (330 km). The compact city center is richly walkable and bike-friendly, with plenty of green spaces, and café-lined streets. It is known for the Concert Hall and Chamber Orchestra, the Svampen (“Mushroom”) water tower, the Gustavsvik waterpark and frequent exhibitions such as Open Art.
