Perhaps one of the most enjoyable things to do in the autumn in Sweden is to get away for a castle weekend. There are many castles in Sweden and you can't stay at all of them, but quite a few offer hotels and various weekend packages.

Just a short walk from the castle is a hotel with 33 cosy rooms. If you want, you can book a castle weekend or a castle weekend with theatre. Whichever package you book, you can count on game meat on the menu.

6. Noors slott, Uppland

Noor Castle is a wooden Carolingian castle in Knivsta, Uppland. It may be a very small and perhaps unassuming castle, but the ground has been trampled by important people such as Karl XI, Verner von Heidenstam and Steve Jobs. Once upon a time there was also an impressively grand baroque garden.
