Autumn holidays in Gävle - tips for a cozy holiday
Kick off your autumn holiday with a chilling cozy in Gävle
Land in Gävle and start with speed. Here are some of our best tips with children in Gävle. Start at Sweden's Prison Museum and learn more about Sweden's dark history, then go on to the DOME Adrenaline Zone and jump tired so you'll be really hungry in time for dinner at the Church Street Saloon. Read more about each holding point below.
Sweden's Prison Museum
Let yourself be touched and moved by the different parts of Sweden's Prison Museum. The castle prison and the cell prison have a lot to tell. It's nice to hold someone's hand when things can get a little scary.
Maximize the adrenaline rush in Northern Europe's largest extreme sports arena
Challenge the family with physical activities or find your different favorites at the DOME Adrenaline Zone, there is something for everyone. The Dome is Northern Europe's largest indoor arena for extreme sports and here you can try everything from trampolines to kick bikes, skateboards and climbing.
The Wild West in the middle of Gävle! Dinner at the Church Street Saloon
At the cowboy-inspired restaurant Church Street Saloon, you can throw the peanut shells directly on the floor. It's naughty, we know! There are also dishes with flavors and aromas from North America, country music and maximum desserts.
Sleep well in one of the city's best hotels
Take an evening walk straight across Stortorget and step into Hotel Clarion Hotell Winn. Before it's time to crawl into bed for the night, you can take a dip in the pool as a finishing activity.
Cozy and suitably scary on Saturday
After a good hotel breakfast, you are ready to take on Saturday's hardships, whether with or without a disguise. Read below for our tips for things to do on autumn holiday Saturday in Gävle.
Forsbacka Bruk, one of Gävle's old ironworks, turns into a Halloween costume during the month of October and hosts Haunted Halloween, one of Sweden's scariest horror walks. Less scary in daylight? Perhaps. During the day, it is possible to book the same experience for those who don't really dare to let themselves be frightened after the encroachment of darkness. The beautiful surroundings around the mill with its historic wings suit the whole family.
Find the Halloween feeling at Kalas & co
Get ready and strengthen the feeling for the day. Load up with your own scary costume or a little blood in the corner of your mouth.
At Kalas & co you will find Norrland's largest selection that fits perfectly!
Rysmys - if you dare!
What is coming to life in the old ironworks? Ghost walk, Haunted Halloween Kids in Forsbacka, in daylight makes it sufficiently scary for everyone in the family.
For the braver adults, an (even) scarier hike is also offered in the evening when darkness has set in...
Eat and sleep well in a genuine working environment
Walk through the mill park to Forsbacka Wärdshus, which already received guests in the 18th century. Enjoy dinner and rest to recharge for the morning's breakfast and new adventures.
Psst! Did you know that Madicken has danced here?!
