Västerås
Västerås is predominantly known as an industrial city, but also a retailing and logistics city. The city wants to distinguish itself as Västerås – Mälarstaden, meaning "Västerås—the city by Lake Mälaren", in order to attract tourists and new residents, as well as students to the local university, Mälardalen University (approximately 16,000 students enrolled in Västerås and in nearby Eskilstuna). To this effect, the city has started using a special logo as branding in some official contexts, partially replacing its coat of arms, as well as rebuilding several old harbor areas to make them more attractive to live in. Västerås has the largest lakeside commercial and recreational port in Scandinavia on Lake Mälaren. The lake has many islands, and there are tourist boats that go out to them daily in the summer. The city also has a skyscraper colloquially nicknamed "Skrapan" (English: The Scraper), which features Sweden's highest-elevation cocktail bar, the Sky Bar, located on the 24th floor. Until 2017, Västerås hosted Power Big Meet, an annual event for owners and enthusiasts of classic American cars. The event moved to Lidköping in 2017 after organizers decided that it had outgrown all the available facilities in Västerås. Long-time Power Big Meet collaborator Klas Brink instead arranged the competing Västerås Summer Meet at the same location as Power Big Meet had been arranged for years.
