Karlsborg, Sweden: $78,000

While tourists flock to Stockholm’s cobblestones, Karlsborg offers something far more compelling: dramatic fortress architecture rising from the shores of Lake Vättern—Sweden’s second-largest lake.

This lakeside town showcases Sweden’s most ambitious military monument: a colossal 19th-century fortress with imposing walls and underground tunnels. But the real draw is the setting—endless lake views stretching to hazy horizons, surrounded by dense pine forests that blaze copper and gold come autumn.

Cycle the quiet country roads between red wooden houses, fish from wooden jetties, and enjoy walks across open meadows dotted with wildflowers. Summer brings the midnight sun’s gentle glow over mirror-still waters, while winter transforms the lake into a frozen highway for ice fishing and cross-country skiing.
