Most people are pleasantly surprised by Örebro when they visit the town for the first time. Not only are they taken with its beauty, with its old-time town centre, the medieval castle on its island in the river Svartån, but also with its city pulse, entertainment, shopping, musical scene and culture.
With approximately 135,000 inhabitants, Örebro is Sweden's seventh largest town. It is big enough for a wide range of choice in most areas, but small enough for distances to be short. When you visit the town centre you will find almost everything within walking range, and in the surrounding area you will find magnificent scenery, beautiful wooden towns and two of Sweden's largest lakes.
