Just a short train ride from Stockholm, Västerås offers a more relaxed pace with a surprising amount to see. This lakeside city is defined by its long industrial history and modern redevelopment along Lake Mälaren. The star attraction is the enormous Anundshög Viking burial mound, one of Sweden's largest, just outside the city. In the center, the Västerås Cathedral's medieval architecture contrasts with the contemporary Kulturhuset and the popular swimming spots at Djäkneberget.
