Sweden)
or Gavle accommodation? Gavle is the capital of Gavleborg County and is the oldest city in the historic Norrland. It is famous for the Gavle Goat, a tradition that started in 1966. This was when the city decided to make a replica of the traditional Yule Goat which is Scandinavia’s oldest Christmas symbol. On the 1st of December of the same year the 13 meter tall and 7 meter long goat went up in flames and it has been set alight ever since then even though it is illegal.
Walking around in Gavle is a nice way to spend a day. The air smell sea fresh, there are a lot of beautiful parks to visit as well as The Swedish Railway Museum, The Gavle Castle, the Forestry Museum and more. Take a short drive to Furuvik Park where there is a small zoo and a carnival and arcade for kids.
As with any city there are shops and restaurants to fill your day if you’re not in the mood for sightseeing and a few bars will provide some merriment after hours. Otherwise there is fishing and canoeing on the lakes and even swimming if you like cold water. For warmer water bathing go to Fjarran Hojderbadet which also offers lovely spa treatments.
For your overnight stay there are hotels, guesthouses, youth hostels and camping sites. According to reviews the Scandic Hotel Gavle West is the best when it comes to budget and quality. Check it out for yourself. - Browse the Gavle Map or compare Gavle accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
