Göta Canal’s greatest attraction is Berg Locks. During the summer thousands of boats pass along the Göta Canal and it really is a spectacle to see how the water mass streams through the locks. The fantastic Carl Johan staircase, with its 7 connected locks raises or lowers the boats a full 18.8 meters between Lake Roxen and Berg Guest Harbour, and is also the longest lock staircase in the Göta Canal. In Berg there are two more double locks, the Oscar lock and the Berg Lock.

The castle in Vadstena is one of the more stunning ones in Sweden. Surrounded by a moat and with high walls, it is possible to imagine the massive defensive forces that protected the castle once upon a time. The castle was built by the Swedish king Gustav Vasa in 1545-1555 and it has been rebuilt several times.

Vadstena Slott was reconstructed as a renaissance castle in 1620 and today it is one of the best-preserved castles of its kind in Sweden. Visitors can visit both the inner yard as well as the castle itself.
