Västerås Street Map Poster

Where the Svartån river empties into Lake Mälaren, Västerås spreads its street map between water and brick-red rooftops. The medieval Västerås Cathedral rises over the historic Kyrkbacken quarter, a knot of narrow lanes and old wooden houses that marks the city’s oldest core. From there the printable city map opens into a clear modern grid, with the river threading south through parks like Vasaparken toward the lakeside harbour.

A long-time centre of Swedish engineering and industry, Västerås nonetheless presents a green, waterfront face on the map — the harbour and the Mälaren shoreline give the southern edge an open, recreational feel, complete with marinas and lakeside paths. The Västerås street map balances that compact cathedral hill against generous open space.

Printed as minimalist wall art, the design highlights the meeting of river, lake and old town. See other Sweden city maps or pair it with our Örebro map poster, a neighbouring central-Swedish castle city.
