Växjö: Vaexjoe - Växjö

Växjö straddles the land between Lake Växjösjön and Lake Trummen in Kronoberg County, and its lakeside setting has woven water and woodland into the city’s everyday routes. Often called the heart of Småland, it is a regional centre in southern Sweden, with the wooded province extending around its urban core. Växjö Cathedral, recognizable by its twin copper-clad spires, anchors the historic centre; the present church was rebuilt after a fire in the 17th century. The Swedish Glass Museum traces the craft tradition associated with the wider Kingdom of Crystal. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Småland connects regionally.

Stockholm spreads across islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, while the preserved 17th-century warship at the Vasa Museum recalls Sweden’s era as a major European power.
