Transport by bus was generous and cheap, you can travel 2h anywhere per ticket. The second hand shops were very affordable and there were a lot of different boutiques with a lot of different themes which is very nice. There’s a lot of diversity in the shopping experience. There was also a lot to see the parks were very well maintained overall and since it’s a coastal city it was very nice taking a walk alongside the water. Definitely a good and chill vacation spot, it has a lot to offer and especially considering the size of the town. I went there to visit my sister so I lived with her and did not pay for accommodations so I have no idea how much that will cost There’s also bad train connections to other towns for example Malmö, but it is a stop on the way to Öland which is one of Sweden’s vacation islands. If you’re on the way to the islands which should definitely stop a day in Kalmar to experience what they have to offer!
