Located on the Mälaren Lake, Vasteras, the number 5 on our list of best places to retire in Sweden was known as the industrial city in the past but works hard to become attractive to tourist. The city has seen many investments in the last couple of years, so infrastructure is top notch. Some of the city’s proud attractions include interesting architecture, castles, museums and amusement parks. Living by the lake will also improve your fishing game, so that’s a bonus.
