I love the cobbled streets, the architecture, the little coffee shops, restaurants and general ambiance. And the cinnamon buns. You must have a coffee and a cinnamon bun or you haven’t really been to Sweden. My other half is less impressed - it’s just cobbled streets and cafes he says. He forgets about the nice little shops. I say - go and see and then decide whose side you are on!
3. Rydals Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 28 reviews
The museum tells the story of how the Boras region became the textile epicenter of Sweden. Rydal is situated on the banks of the river Viskan, north of the town called Kinna. Due to the well preserved remains of an old industrial community, Rydal is of national interest. The factory, along with several other buildings, has been declared historical monuments. The old spinning mill now houses a public museum, a conference center, the handicraft boutique Akleja as well as several private businesses. The museum mainly focuses on the heritage of textile industry but also exhibits a variety of art, design and textiles.

Engelska parken is a peaceful and secluded playground, far from any traffic and surrounded by trees, hills and a garden. It gets its name from the houses in the area, built in English style using red bricks, workers' housing from the nineteenth century. Nearby is Konstepidemin, an area of artists' galleries and studios.
