Vastervik

Västervik is a coastal town in Småland surrounded by an extensive archipelago. The historic centre, harbour and access to the water make the town a convenient base for a trip focused on the Baltic coast. It suits travellers who want to alternate between streets and cafés in town and quieter experiences among islands, bays and rocky shores. Boating, paddling and island excursions are natural ways to explore the area, but routes and services vary with the season. A stay in Västervik can therefore be planned either as a relaxed town break or as the starting point for several days outdoors. Allow time for both the centre and the coast rather than treating the town only as a departure point.
