About the neighborhood
We live in the township/village Bålsta with very good communication to Stockholm: 30 minutes by high way to central Stockholm or 40 minutes by train. Stockholm, "Venice of Scandinavia", have a lot of tourist attractions to offer. http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/ Besides Stockholm we have some interesting tourist attractions in the area: Skokloster Castle and the University town Uppsala where you will find out more about the vikings....but you will also find a large indoor water fun-park! Please have a look at http://sko.lsh.se/default.asp?id=4620 and http://www.uppsala.to/en/
If you are lucky you will see some moose feeding in the field but there is also a Moose- farm around if you would like a close up contact with " The King of the Forest"
Right outside Bålsta is Lake Mälaren, Swedens 3:rd largest lake.There are several nice public swimming areas 2-3 km away and an indoor swimming pool as well. There are lots of hiking and biking trails around. Lake Mälaren also offers fishing of pike and perch.
If you like horse riding you could go Iceland horse riding on small roads in the countryside..
Do you like golfing? There are 5 golf courses within 15 km from Bålsta!
Within walking distance (500 meter) there are pizza, chinese, Thai, Greek and Sushi restaurants/take aways plus a cafe.

For those of you who have the possibility to fly cheap with Ryan Air. Stockholm Skavsta Airport is within 2 hours from Bålsta and Stockholm-Västerås Airport is 40 minutes away.This means we have an extra interest to exchange with families living near by airports operated by Ryan Air.
