In the northern part of the city winds Lilla Å-promenaden offering a place to stroll and ride your bicycle. It is approximately four kilometres long and takes you out to the nature reserve Oset-Rynningeviken. Nine sculptures are scattered along the way, as well as an art studio and a permanent illumination display.

In the heart of the city stands the stately Örebro castle, the gathering point in the city for more than 700 years. Once a simple castle for defence and prison, it was rebuilt as a royal castle during the Vasa era. Today, the castle is an open tourist attraction, with tours, exhibitions, a restaurant and a café, as well as the Örebro Läns Museum.

On the outskirts of Malmö lies a rural oasis that emanates a sense of peace and harmony. Katrinetorp, an early 19th-century "landeri" (country estate), was originally designed as a summer residence and a venue for grand receptions. Today, the city of Malmö runs the place, and they are constantly working on recreating its former glory. Markets, music entertainment, events, and exhibitions are held here annually. It recently opened its new exhibition hall "The Stables,” which also has a high-end gift shop. Katrinetorp lies 10 minutes from the city centre of Malmö, which makes the big city no more than a stone’s throw away from this idyllic scenery.
