Falun is best explored on foot and the city is probably the prettiest in Dalarna, at least much nicer looking than its neighbor Borlänge. The old sections, with their well-preserved wooden houses from the 17th century, are a must-see. Elsborg, Gamla Herrgården and Östanfors are three districts where mine workers lived and the houses remain intact, having escaped the fire that destroyed most of Falun in 1761. The Great Kopparberg Church from the 14th century, at right, is the oldest building in town and well worth a visit. Apart from the old sections, you will see that Falun is also a modern city with plenty of shops, hotels and restaurants to accommodate its many visitors.
