General presentation
Falun
Copper mine, red houses and Dalecarlian traditions give Falun a national reach.
Falun Mine, Dalécarlie Museum and Carl Larsson House give Falun's most telling landmarks. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Mine de Falun
The Great Copper Mine has provided a major share of European copper for centuries. The visit goes down into its galleries and also explains the origin of the red pigment of Swedish houses.
Museum
Musée de Dalécarlie
The museum preserves costumes, popular art and one of Dalécarlie's richest collections of horses; it shows how an artisanal object became a national symbol.
Place indismissible
Maison de Carl Larsson
In Sundborn, the house decorated by Carl and Karin Larsson fixed a luminous image of the Swedish interior; furniture, textiles and paintings remained closely linked.
