Gävle is a town in the north of Sweden, most famous for having the world's biggest Christmas Yule Goat. But 50 years ago it used to be known as Sweden's Chicago due to rampant violent crime in the city.
Come along as I explore the city and tell you of its history, dating back to 1413 when this was a fishing town and a center for transporting goods from the area of Bergslagen in Sweden, out to the Baltic Sea.
The places I explore along the way include:
- Central Gävle
- Gamla Gefle, a preserved 19th and 20th century part of town
- Gävle Castle
- Gävle Concert Hall
- Berggrenska gården, called Sweden's oldest mall
- The Boulogner Forest
- The Gävle Gasworks, old gasworks that have been transformed into a cultural centre
Oh, and don't miss the clips from Church Street Saloon, a country & western bar in the centre of Gävle.
