Cheap Skovde Vacation Packages
The medieval city of Skovde is for those who believe that beautiful things come in small packages. This Swedish city is your one-point destination to explore countryside and nearby small towns for that exquisite Swedish identity. Skovde is located at a three hours ride from the national capital (Stockholm) and this allows you a chance to explore both the cities in less than a week’s time. In 1759 AD, a major part of the city was burnt due to a fire and the city was left with only a few old, red-colored houses. Since Skovde is a historical city, its heritage is best visible through its museum (Skovde’s City Museum) and cultural center (Skovde’s Civic Cultural Centre). Its music festival is another thing that deserves a visit, and should not be missed.
