Gävle [ˈjɛːvlɛ] is a city in Sweden, the seat of Gävle Municipality and the capital of Gävleborg County. It had 99,576 inhabitants in September 2016, which makes it the 13th most populated city in Sweden. It is the oldest city in the historical Norrland (Sweden's Northern Lands), having received its charter in 1446 from Christopher of Bavaria. However, Gävle is far nearer the greater Stockholm region than it is to the other major settlements in Norrland.

The Prison Museum of Sweden

Experience prison conditions of the past in two unique prison buildings. Follow history from the old castle jail with its underground dungeons, dating back to the mid-1600s, to one of Sweden’s first penitentiaries, dating from 1847. You will witness the Swedish prison system, which developed from a period of public enforced shame and corporal punishment to a time when prisoners were isolated from society in what we now call solitary confinement. A visit to the Prison Museum leaves no one unaffected. When you visit the museum, borrow an audioguide in english or german for free!

Furuviksparken

Reviewed By 2014Jandy - Nottingham, United Kingdom

We visited this park and zoo while staying in Sweden with family. There is parking a short walk away and reasonable charge for a whole day. Seemed expensive to get into the park as the swimming area wasn't open for the season but there was no discount which was disappointing. However the park in well laid out and there is plenty to see. Toilets throughout the park as well as food and drink outlets. We would recommend taking a picnic as prices were high as you would expect inside a park. Rides were extra unless you purchased a wrist band and no queues when we visited. Great place for a day out in good weather.
