Växjö
0470 / Pop 82,000
A venerable old market town, Växjö ( vak -choo, with the 'ch' sound pronounced as in the
Scottish 'loch'), in Kronobergs län, is an important stop for Americans seeking their
Swedish roots. Karl Oscar Days ( www.karloskardagarna.se ; mid-Aug) commemorates the
mass 19th-century emigration from the area, and the Swedish-American of the year is
chosen during the festival. The town's glass museum, packed with gorgeous works of art
and plenty of history, is another highlight.
