Västerås is the country's sixth largest city, with a population of about 159,000. Anchored on the northern shore of Lake Mälaren, it got its nickname ("Mälarstaden") and can be spotted from afar thanks to the Skrapan tower. This dynamic city is the headquarters of the industrial giant ABB, and continues to attract engineers, who are courted by the many firms located in the area, and students. In recent years, the city has developed a lot. Its old quarter and its facades from the 16th century (Kyrkbacken) are worth a walk, as is the Viking site Anundshög. The city center, on the other hand, is not very exciting.
