STF Nora Tåghem HOSTEL
( 0587-146 76; www.norataghem.se ; s/d Skr240/320; May-mid-Sep)
Outdoing its home town in the cuteness department, this hostel lets you sleep in the tiny
but adorable antique bunks of 1930s railway carriages. All compartments have great views
over the lake, and there's a cafe that does breakfast, plus sandwiches and snacks in sum-
mer.
Trängbo Camping
CAMPGROUND
( 0587-123 61; www.trangbocamping.se ; sites Skr185, cabins from Skr325; May-Sep)
This small campsite is by the lake 1.5km north of Nora (a lakeshore walking path leads
from the train station/tourist office). Amenities are fine, if basic, and there's a place for
swimming and beach volleyball. Guests can hire boats and canoes (Skr50/300 per hour/
day).
Nora Stadshotell HOTEL
( 0587-31 14 35; www.norastadshotell.se ; Rådstugugatan 21; s/d from Skr790/1190)
You can't miss this elegant building, planted smack on the main square, with 36 simple,
white-furnitured rooms - some of them in a more modern annexe. There's a good-value
lunch buffet (Skr85) at the restaurant, which can be eaten on the airy summer terrace,
along with à la carte evening mains from Skr129 and a comfortable pub.
Nora Glass ICE CREAM
( 0587-123 32; Storgatan 11; ice creams Skr32-74; 10.30am-6.30pm May-Aug)
Nora is renowned for its incredible ice cream, made here for more than 80 years. You nev-
er know what flavours will be available - three or four different ones are churned out
freshly each day - but you do know that they're worth queuing for. If hazelnut is among
the day's selections, don't pass it up.
