Weekend tips on the Swedish west coast

The Swedish west coast stretches from Halland's long sandy beaches in the south to Bohuslän's bare cliffs, fishing villages, and archipelago in the north – with Gothenburg as the natural midpoint. Here, the sea is always close, and the weekend can be about everything from classic spa hotels and resorts to castles in the forest, vineyards, and seafood straight from the boat.

On this page, we gather tips on hotels, spas, and weekend experiences along the west coast – for you who want a sea view, fresh air, and good food, whether you are traveling in the summer or want to experience the coast in the autumn storms.
