Trosa

For the suckers of romance and history, there is a historic township called Trosa, nestled just 70 km south of Stockholm also known as the World’s End. Given official ‘township’ status by King Karl IX in 1610 the town has been invaded, burned, rebuilt and has somehow not only survived but grown significantly. This quaint place is thriving with exciting opportunities for vacationers. In Trosa, all the roads lead you to its river which flows through the centre. A walk along the riverbank leads to the jetty and the marina – a popular and lively meeting-place during the summer months. Don’t go by the tiny size of this town, as otherwise it is a hot spot of a wide variety of eating houses and plenty of places to stay, with everything from hotels with meeting rooms, B&Bs and cottages. Sightseeing tours of the Trosa archipelago and boat trips are open for tourists. To reach Trosa, drive or hop on to one Trosabussen from Liljeholmen in Stockholm and reach the ancient town in 55 minutes.
