It's located on the southeast coast of Sweden and is the third-largest populous city in Småland. This coastal city is the hub of lively festivals, bustling streets, and crowded markets. Several tourist attractions are there, including the historical places which delineate the Danish culture. Despite having such an urban charisma, Kalmar is also a place of nature reserves you must explore during your visit.

For an exciting day trip, you can visit the nearest island of Öland. It's full of historical treasures which you will find interesting. Shopping is one of the main activities in this busy summer town.
