Snögubbe borås
•
Borås is in West Sweden, 45 minutes inland from Gothenburg. In the 19th and 20th centuries Borås was the countrys big textiles manufacturer and that legacy is maintained at the Textilmuseet, where industrial spinning and weaving machines are still in perfect order.
One thing that will hit you right away about Borås is its street art: On the sides of apartment blocks and municipal buildigns are fantastic murals tens of metres high, commissioned by the city in a week-long event every September. Three years into this initiative the murals have started to take over, and Borås looks unlike any city in Sweden. For grownups there are heavyweight cultural destinations like the Abecita modern art museum. But Borås also has lots for kids to get up to, at one of the countrys top zoos, the action-packed city park or an ingenious science centre.
Lets explore the best things to do in Borås:
1. Borås Djurpark
The citys top attraction is an ethical, thoughtfully designed zoo on the northern outskirts.
There are more than animals at the park, from 65 species, counting Swedens only African elephants.
Where the zoo excels is in the design of its enclosures.

Heres the third word in The Locals Christmas-themed word of the day series, running from December 1st to Christmas Eve.
Today’s wintery word of the day is snögubbe, the Swedish word for snowman.
If you’ve spent a lot of time in Sweden, you will probably have come across the word gubbe before, usually used as an affectionate – or derogatory, depending on the context – word for “old man”, which makes a snögubbe a “snow old man”.
According to the Swedish Academy’s dictionary, the word snögubbe has existed in Swedish since
And it’s an important word. In some areas of Sweden, like northern Swedish town Kiruna, snögubbar aren’t just a winter phenomenon, and you might even have a chance to build one well into the summer if the weather is on your side.
A traditional snögubbe is usually made of kramsnö, soft snow which has the perfect consistency for rolling snowballs. This kramsnö is then rolled into two or three large snöbollar (snowballs) stacked on top of one another, with a morot (carrot) for a nose, and pinnar (sticks) for hands.
