Originally built around a copper mine, Falun is now a popular tourist destination. The mine, the Great Copper Mountain, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2001 and can be toured with an official guide. Another must-see attraction is the Great Pit, 95 metres in depth and a result of the 1687 collapse in the mine. Although Falun’s mining history is the most prominent attraction, travellers can enjoy many traditional events, including the Swedish Ski Games, the Falu Party and Falu Cruising.
