Rent a car in Gävle with Europcar
Gävle, founded in 1446 (pronounced "yev-luh"), is the oldest city in Norrland. This lively city is located on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia and is well worth exploring for a couple of days before you head out into the wilderness. Start with Gamla Gefle and the charming old neighborhoods right next to the Gavleån river. Wander along cobblestone streets with small colorful houses before heading back across the river to the Holy Trinity Church - the city's oldest church and one of the few buildings spared in the fire of 1869. Whiskey lovers can take a quick drive five km southwest of Gävle where they will find Mackmyra Svensk Whisky - Scandinavia's only single-malt whisky distillery founded in 1999. Explore your taste buds and taste Sweden's fiery, strong sweetness! If you share the Swedes' passion for good coffee, you're in luck! Gävle is home to Scandinavia's largest roastery, Gevalia, which has been supplying Sweden with its coffee dose since 1853. When you've had your last cup of coffee before you hit the road again, don't forget to visit the city's mascot made of straw: the Gävle Goat!
