Halmstad is located halfway between Gothenburg and Malmö, Sweden's second and third most populous cities respectively. Here are some things to do in this port city:
→ The main attraction of the area are the beaches! Every year in summer, thousands of tourists from northern Europe flock to Halmstad to enjoy the endless days of sunshine on one of the long sandy beaches, such as Lynga Sanddyn and Tylösand. In the evenings, the waterfront comes alive thanks to the many bars and nightclubs.
→ Discover the oldest nature reserve in the entire country, only 20 minutes from the city! We are talking about Haverdals, a picturesque nature area where you can take a walk or ride a mountain bike. The pines in this reserve have the peculiarity of growing in circular shapes, which is why the locals call it the 'magic forest'.
Given its location, Halmstad is an ideal starting point for exploring the rest of Sweden!
→ Explore Malmö, the 'gateway to Europe'. The city is connected to Denmark by a partially submerged bridge, a marvel of contemporary engineering. But the city has ancient origins: if you go to Lilla Torg, one of the city's main squares, you'll see half-timbered buildings dating back to the late 16th century.
→ Visit Gothenburg! One of the most picturesque cities in the whole country, it was born as a fortification at the mouth of the river Göta and spreads out over several islands. Stroll along the canals and long boulevards, walk along the main street, Avenyn, stop at the many shops and restaurants and experience this city’s thousand hidden corners!
