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.

Flattop is the most climbed mountain in Alaska—and for good reason. It’s just a short drive from Anchorage, the trail is well-marked, and the views from the top stretch across the city and beyond—Denali, if you get lucky with a clear day. The hike is not long, but it does get steep toward the end and involves a bit of scrambling. If that’s not your thing, there’s a lookout near the parking lot that still gives you a pretty good view.
