Borlänge

A town on the Dalälven river in Sweden's Dalarna province, Borlänge has a walkable centre with a solid food-and-drink scene. Romme Alpin, Sweden's largest ski area outside the mountain regions, sits just outside town, and the wider Dalarna region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites. Högskolan Dalarna runs a campus here, and the Framtidsmuseet offers a planetarium and hands-on science workshops.
