Attractions

Örebro Castle

Örebro Castle stands in the centre of this modern town, surrounded by a moat. A defence tower was built here in the 13th century and remained pretty much intact until the Renaissance came along and a new castle was built in 1560. Little remains of the previous versions of the castle, but then again this has always been a castle that reflects the times, politics, styles and fashion of the time in which it stands. Through the ages Örebro Castle has been used - no surprises here - as a prison, a military compound, a royal castle in the 14th and 15th centuries and the Swedish parliament was even convened a few times in days gone by.

There are guided tours, an exhibition centre and this is a very worthwhile sightseeing destination.

The Castle is not equiped and accessible for the disabled, but it is still very interesting attraction.

Tourism is the encounter of different cultures and it creates something new in every meeting. We are invited to explore this new phenomenon through projects, exhibitions, panel discussions, traveling exhibitions and workshops.

The Croatian Museum of Tourism is also made up of your personal stories and experiences – whether you’re a traveler, a host, resident in a tourist destination, hospitality worker, whether you are still just planning your journeys or remembering them.
