Car Hire in Sala - Mini guide to Sala

Sala is around 100kms northwest of the capital, Stockholm, in Vastmanland County, and is known for its old silver mine (Sala Silver Mine). You can get here by train from Uppsala and Stockholm and pick up cheap car hire in Sala.

Sala itself is a medium-sized country town with roots dating back to the Middle Ages when the silver mine was established, although is nothing special. The mine was shut down in the early 1900s, yet tourists can get on guided tours today. It is one of the best-preserved of its type and an easy drive with car rental in Sala.

The mine area is well developed and festivals are frequently staged here. In addition, there are huge caverns and lakes, winding galleries, and bed-and-breakfasts nearby. The centre of Sala is also worth checking out by having a stroll down Main Street and visiting the unique shops and friendly people.

Heading north-west of Sala with car hire in Sala is the town of Avesta which has an enviable locale on the edge of a wide river, while east of Sala is the town of Heby, about 20kms away on the highway for Uppsala (Highway 72). It is worth a few hours, yet more time should perhaps be put aside for visiting Uppsala.

Due-south of Sala is Enkoping on the north shore of Lake Malaren, where there are many islands. You can drive around the lake with car rental in Sala and finish up in Stockholm.
