In the heart of Skövde, Helénsparken is a charming green oasis featuring a playground and quaint shops housed in historic red cottages. The park boasts a stage occasionally used for local events, and within its grounds stands Helénstugan, Skövde's oldest building. Believed to have been constructed in the early 18th century, Helénstugan is a residential gem that survived the significant town fire of 1759, making it a unique testament to Skövde's history. Named after its last inhabitants, Lotta and Petter Helén, the cabin preserves a piece of the town's architectural heritage.

Opened in 1934, the Gothenburg City Theatre is Sweden's oldest of its kind and one of the country's largest dramatical theatres. Its diverse repertoire encompasses classical, contemporary, and international plays and performances. Before the shows, theatergoers frequently gather at Foajébaren, a bustling lobby bar renowned as a favored pre-theatre meeting spot.

This sprawling parkland featuring pine forests and dunes is said to resemble something from another planet. This is a protected area and wild birds are abundant. There are also lovely beach areas for those interested in surfing.

Amersfoort beer has been around since 1323. Because Amersfoort has always had good-quality water, the brewery industry in Amersfoort boomed. After 1800, unfortunately, many breweries had to close down because of rising competition from other Dutch cities. De Drie Ringen was founded in 1989, on the initiative of a bunch of friends. Enjoy traditional Amersfoort beers, go on a guided tour, and take a look at the ins and outs of the brewery.
