The capital of Gävleborg County, Gävle, is a beautiful Swedish city and a must-visit tourist destination. Here, you can enjoy a slow afternoon having picnics with your family or treading scenic trails with your friends at Boulognerskogen. Cobblestone streets accentuate Old Town, and exploring it can make you feel like traveling back in time. If you’re visiting during the summer season, sunning at T-Udden might pique your interest. Since Furuviksparken, a family-friendly recreational destination and a zoo is only 13.9 mi (22.37 km) away from the city, you can not miss adding it to a side-trip itinerary. Besides exciting attractions, Gävle provides visitors with comfortable accommodations.
