It is well-known that Big Meet is the largest outdoors car show in the world. With about 10,000 visiting vehicles the meet is an outstanding experience. If you have been to Big Meet previously you know what we are talking about. If you've never taken the chance you do not know what you have been missing! INCREDIBLE is only the first name.
Here is some good-to-know information about Big Meet.

Hotels
There are around 15 nice hotels in Västerås. Information about these can be found at Västerås Tourist Information Office. Make your reservations early - the demand is enormous. You also find a lot of youth hostels and groups of leisure cottages for hire in the surrounding area. They, too, are usually quite fully booked within a 50 kilometers vicinity of Västerås. We recommend that you give the Tourist Bureau of Västerås a call: +46 21 39 01 00.
