About Kalmar
Residence town
Close to Öland
University town
On the Småland coast in south-eastern Sweden, with Öland only a stone's throw away across the sound, lies Kalmar. It is a residence town in Kalmar County and Småland's third largest urban area, once a cathedral town and formerly marked by industry, today more by services, trade and culture. The winds of the Baltic meet a town life of shops, sights and plenty to experience for residents and visitors alike.
It is a town you recognise by its details. The Union monument and the Union stone carry traces of history, while Lindöparken and the water at Långviken and Långudden are among the places where daily life can breathe. That the town gained a college and then became a university town shows in the pulse of the streets.
Perhaps you grew up here, perhaps you moved here and stayed – either way, Kalmar settles into you. To you who wear this map: may it remind you of the sound, the streets and the feeling of belonging, wherever you are right now.
