Voykit pocket guide · Sweden

Lindesberg

Half a day is enough: walk the church, visit the paper mill museum, then head to Nora or Västerås. Not a base.

Lindesberg is a small town in Västmanland with a 19th-century wooden centre, a church and a paper mill museum. Most travellers pass through on the way to Nora, Grythyttan or the lakes. Half a day covers the sights; one night only if you want the bath house or a quiet stopover.
