   It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to get from Stockholm to Västerås by train, and a little more than 4 hours if you travel from Göteborg.
You can also get here by plane daily from Copenhagen for example.

   A major part of the people in Västerås travel by bicykle, therefore there are alot of 'cykelbanor', or cycle tracks (about 300 km of them!), which mean there are quite alot of tunnels as well.
   These tunnels often get decorated by writers, but they once in a while (too often) get buffed as well...
...that's why we're bringing you PieceBook, to show some of the fresh pieces before they're washed away...
Västerås
Västerås. The green line running through the map is E-18 - the motorway.

 
   There are, of course, many other popular places that's being painted, like along the motorway, bridges, electricity stations, or by the railway track, where some writers prefeer to make their marks. Just look at the pics and you'll see.
