Kungsbacka

Take a dip from the rocky shore, sample the delicious raspberry tart, stroll along the harbour and soak up the atmosphere, or enjoy dinner at Hamnkrogen with a splendid sea view.

Särö became a popular spa resort in the 19th century, when beautiful villas and bathing pavilions were built here. Many still remain today, stylishly renovated, with their traditional balconies for drinking punsch. Take a walk through the unique nature reserve and finish off with lunch or dinner at the inn.

Bröderna Nilssons Livs in central Kungsbacka is a genuine country grocery store where you can buy delicacies, cheese, tea and local produce over the counter, have your bill totted up by hand and enjoy a pleasant chat with the shopkeeper. The Nilsson family started the shop in 1940.

Sample the famous marzipan, pralines, homemade gelato and chocolate while peeking through the window into the factory to see how it is made.
