A favorite activity in Gavle is canoeing due to the number of lakes in the Gavle region. Fishing is also a popular outdoor activity during the summer months as well as camping in the countryside. Furuvik Park is a short drive from town and is a great place for children because of the small carnival, arcade and a mini zoo. Then there’s also the coastal defense installation and museum that’s located in the area.

A short distance to the west is Falun Koppargruva. The copper mine features guided tours and offers in-depth historical information about early Sweden. The Swedish Railway Museum and Gavle Bocken are also must sees in the area.
