In-Depth Information
A pleasant, sleepy town of almost 80,000, Växjö (locals say VEK-hwuh;
Stockholmers pronounce it VEK-shuh) is in the center of Småland. An import-
ant trading town for centuries, its name loosely means “where the road meets
the lake.” Today an enjoyable three-mile path encircles that lake, and a farmers
market enlivens the otherwise too-big and too-quiet main square on Wednes-
day and Saturday mornings.
