Kalix
Sweden
Pocket-sized town on the Kalix River in northern Sweden's Norrbotten County, with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. The river's name traces back to a Sami word meaning "the cold river," and the surrounding region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites. Mountains are within reach, making it a practical base for exploring this part of the far north.
