At Filmbyn (Film Village), you can experience scenes from classical children’s films, e.g. Emil in Lönneberga, the Bullerby Children, and Pippi Longstocking. Step into the world of film via a magical exhibition, created in the spirit of Astrid Lindgren. You’ll see classical film clips, original props, and sing along with movie music. While you’re there, you might like to visit its café, shop and one or other of the 12 filming locations nearby, such as Katthult and Bullerby.

The Rumskulla oak, also known as the Kvill oak, is an oak tree near Norra Kvill National Park in Vimmerby. It is a fine example of one of Europe's oldest and largest trees with an estimated age of 850 to 1,000 years. Proudly surviving the ages, it is a rare and magnificent representative of Sweden's dwindling population of significant ancient trees, with a circumference measuring an impressive 13 meters.

Moco Museum packs big-name modern and contemporary art into the 1904 Villa Alsberg, a townhouse steps from the Rijksmuseum. Since 2016, its intimate (if somewhat cramped) rooms have showcased Banksy, Basquiat and Kusama alongside rising stars, all sourced from private collections. The permanent Banksy exhibition shares space with rotating shows, while the gift shop peddles cheeky art merch. Expect queues for Yayoi Kusama’s infinity rooms or Warhol’s pop pieces; early mornings or late afternoons ease the squeeze. More accessible than scholarly, it’s ideal for art newcomers or those short on time.
