Västerås Audio Tour: Power, Parks, and Past in Sweden’s Heart

Audio guide13 stops

In Västerås, stones have outlasted kings and towers still whisper of buried secrets. Behind every vaulted ceiling and weathered lock lies a story fighting to be heard. Embark on a self-guided audio tour through the heart of Västerås. Peel back centuries as each step uncovers hidden corners, rebellious uprisings, royal intrigue, and legends most hurried travelers overlook. What drove a bishop to confront his own congregation—sparking chaos in the cathedral? Whose shadow once darted from the turbine house on frosty nights, leaving traces that faded come sunrise? Why does a rusted key near Västerås Castle unlock only a certain door—and why was it ever locked? Trace riverside paths and castle stones as history crackles beneath your feet. Feel the thrill of unrest, the awe of ancient power, and the delight of discovery as Västerås reveals itself anew. Press play and meet the stories that Västerås keeps just beneath the surface.
