Essentials

City
Örebro, seat of Örebro County, on the Svartån in the province of Närke, where the E18, the E20 and road 50 meet. The castle is about 500 m from the central station. 3 25
Population
160,687 people were registered in Örebro municipality on 31 December 2025, up 0.3 percent on 2024. SCB lists it as the seventh-largest municipality. That release does not give a separate urban-area figure. 1

Hallon and Comviq prepaid include 5G, and the centre has free Orebro Wifi on Stortorget, Drottninggatan and Järntorget. A city median speed test was not opened. 4 5 7 53 58
Currency & Banking
Swedish krona. The Sweden cost prep fixes 1 USD at 9.8920 SEK on 19 October 2026. Cards are the normal way to pay, and many businesses take no cash. Swish needs a Swedish bank account. 2 61
Tap Water
Municipal tap water is safe to drink. About 90 percent of residents are on the municipal supply. The main plant, Skråmsta, treats water from the Svartån, and the municipality publishes 2026 chemical samples. 2 6

Banking for Expats
Foreign cards work for most payments. Swish, the usual phone-payment app, needs a Swedish bank account. Getting that account generally means a personnummer and BankID, which a short stay does not provide. 2
