Car rental Kronoberg County

Speed limits in Sweden are quite variable, ranging from 30 km/h in residential areas, 70-100 km/h on main roads and up to 120 km/h on some motorways. These limits are stricter and more meticulously enforced than in the UK.

Scenic Routes

Enjoy breath-taking views from your car on the famous Road 120 running through the heart of the county. Admire traditional red cottages and miles of dense forest, broken by the shimmering Lake Åsnen. Visit the enchanting town of Växjö, known as the "greenest city in Europe."

Cities and Attractions

Venture out from Växjö to discover Tingsryd Municipality or the historic town of Ljungby. Don't miss the ancient Rune Stones, the impressive Kronoberg Castle ruins, or the UNESCO-listed Grimeton Radio Station. Remember that parking can be scarce in historic areas, so plan your visits responsibly.

Seasonal Events

Depending on the time of your visit, you can find a host of unique events, like the Baltic Sea Festival in August, or traditional Midsummer celebrations in June. You could even join locals in the December Lucia processions.

What Car to Choose?

Depending on your vacation goals, you might want to choose an SUV to roam through the picturesque countryside and tackle the occasional snowy road, or go for a compact city car for better fuel efficiency during city getaways.

Currency

Though Sweden is part of the EU, it has maintained its own currency, the Swedish Krona (SEK). Be sure to make the necessary arrangements before your journey.

People and Culture

The inhabitants of Kronoberg County, like most Swedes, may seem reserved at first. However, they deeply appreciate politeness and are more than willing to help once approached. Come with an open mind, and you will feel welcomed in no time.
