Eskilstuna

Eskilstuna is perhaps best known for Park Zoo, which is a combined zoo and amusement park, and for being the hometown of the Swedish rock band Kent. But Eskildstuna has much more to offer. Among the popular attractions is the technology museum Munktellmuseet, the Eskilstuna Museum of Art and the Sigurd Rune Stone on Ramsundsberget from the 9th century. First Hotels has a hotel in Eskilstuna, First Hotel City. Dating back to the 1890s, the hotel is located just 30 metres from the railway and bus station and offers good meeting and conference facilities as well as fine details that testify to the city’s industrial history, including Eskilstuna’s oldest elevator/lift. First Hotel in Eskilstuna is also situated close to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Travellers venturing outside of town can within a 1.5-hour drive reach attractions such as Gripsholms Castle in Mariefred, Julita Gård / Nordic Museum and Ericsbergs Castle in Katrineholm.
