The City
The guide was updated:
Perhaps it is the “small metropolis” feeling, rich in contrasts, that makes so many people feel at home in Växjö. Multicultural, youthful and do ahead. Growing so that it strains at the seams. Despite a high tempo, there is also time for calm and reflection. It’s the contrasts that define the town of Växjö. On the one hand, lively pulse, shopping and entertainment and on the other, charming alleyways, cobblestones and red cottages. There is something to do for both big and small here – from a cathedral with roots in the 12th century to a modern skatepark in the middle of town, from Sweden’s best wine cellar to peaceful fishing trips only a stone’s throw from the main street.
