For an unique history lesson, check out the crumbling ruins of Kronobergs Slott and picture how it would have looked in its prime.
This once-important structure is free to enter, which is good news if you're watching your money. Kronobergs Slott is located in Växjö. When you're ready to leave, Grand Samarkand Shopping Center, Swedish Glass Museum and Vaxjo Cathedral are in the area and also worth checking out.
