9 autumn holiday tips for the haunted city of Örebro
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Spökslottet, with fun activities and interesting stories. We went on a guided tour that was focused on the history with a touch of ghosts. We also found Lilla Spöket Laban's letter hunt, and the kids got to dress up as knights in the castle's basement

Highlights: The guided tours, the letter hunt, and dressing up as knights in the castle's basement made it a very fun place for the kids. The guided tour was good, with some ghost themes. We had the chance to meet and give Laban a hug ✨
