Kalmar Castle keeps a family visit simple: the entry ticket includes every exhibition, the regular guided tours and the children’s activities. The castle is a short walk from Kalmar Central Station, where both buses and trains stop, so arriving without a car works well. Slottsrestaurangen on site serves lunch, fika or just a small snack, and it follows the castle’s opening days, though sometimes with different hours. One thing to plan around: the whole castle is cashless, at the entrance, in Slottsbutiken and in the restaurant, so bring a card. This autumn the castle is also running a new ghost walk, Dragen ur döden.
