Situated on the shores of the beautiful Lake Malaren this city, in central Sweden, is the perfect location for a serviced apartment or holiday letting. Vasteras offers an abundance of incredible architecture, ancient historical sites, mysterious castles and tales of ghostly visitors, deathly stones and poisoned soup that will keep everyone enthralled throughout the entire vacation.

For a taste of this city’s ancient architecture what better place to start than Church Hill, situated in the oldest part of the city. If you take a stroll along the little lanes that snake their way through this area you will find a treasure trove of old, traditional buildings that are the most ancient in Vasteras. Admire the charming architecture and soak up the age old atmosphere. In this region you will also find the 800 year old Cathedral which is also the burial place of Erik XIV. Take a guided tour of this imposing building and learn all about the fate of Erik, the poor unfortunate son of Gustav Vasa who met his demise through eating poisoned pea soup.

Your self-catered apartment or aparthotel in Vasteras is also within close proximity of Vasteras Castle. The original castle on this site was built around 900 years ago and then rebuilt in the 1500s by Gustav Vasa as part of the city’s defensive system. Now, no longer needed as a look out for invaders or a safe house for it’s occupants, this castle has become home to a museum that is well worth a browse.

Another castle that has a few stories of it’s own to tell is Angso Castle, situated on the Island of Angso. Take a tour of the vast rooms, each furnished in a particular period’s style. View interesting artefacts and exhibits and hear the numerous, spine tingling stories attached to this building and why the locals believe it has so many ghosts. The church that is also situated on the castle grounds is home to a large stone and legend has it that if you touch the stone a terrible fate awaits you. I think this is one of those occasions where you keep you hands firmly in your pockets.

After a day of exploring this amazing city why not head over to Limone Ristorante Italiano for a delicious evening meal. This restaurant is just a stones throw from your apartment rental or holiday let in Vasteras and boasts excellent Italian cuisine, generous portions and superb service. The perfect end to the day.
