Strömstad
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this town was among the first coastal towns to emerge in Europe. Its archipelago-like setting has created a highly desirable tourist combination that includes nature, the sea, economic activity, and a significant gastronomy concentration.
In comparison to other towns north of the Alps, Strömstad is known to get the most summer sunlight days. Numerous daily ferries travel to and from Sandefjord, Norway, and stop in Strömstad. Additionally, it is the location of a domestic ferry service to Sweden's westernmost populated islands, the Koster Islands, a nature preserve.
For those who love nature, Strömstad is adjacent to the island of Saltö, which is home to one of the world's most breathtaking nature reserves. The stunning island of Furholmen is also in the area. In addition to the municipal museum, you can visit the Blomsholm megalithic complex if you're searching for a more cultural itinerary.
