Hotels in Vastergotland, Sweden

Västra Götaland is a region in southwestern Sweden with a temperate climate-cold, snowy winters (averaging 23°F/-5°C) perfect for ice skating on Lake Vänern, Europe's third-largest lake, and mild summers (around 68°F/20°C) ideal for biking the Göta Canal. It's famous for Viking-era ruins and medieval castles like Läckö Castle, which you can tour in summer. Head to the Kinnekulle plateau for panoramic views of the lake and patchwork fields, or paddle the canal in a rented kayak during the long daylight hours of June.
