Borlänge sits in Dalarna County, in the middle of Sweden. The small locality has become known as a shopping destination due to the area of Kupolen. It has become the number one shopping city in Dalarna County, so hiring a car in Borlänge is a great way to get all your shopping home. The locality itself sits on a major highway, the E16, which will connect you to the rest of Sweden and also into Norway should you wish to cast your net wider on your trip. If you head just out of the town, you can get out to Siljan Lake which is ideal for long walks and has some great wintery views should the weather be on your side.
In the south of Dalarna, there is the perfect place to ski. The Romme Alpin is under half an hour's drive out of the town, but hiring a car in Borlänge to drive down means you can bring your own equipment to keep the cost down. If you're wanting to experience the bigger cities in Sweden, the capital of Stockholm is under three hours away and involves a great scenic drive through Sweden's landscapes. The Ornässtugan is a great place for a quick look at history in the area, the timber house dates back to the 16th century and you can get a tour of the house to get some extra facts of the area.
