The Homestead Park in Ängelholm is a family-friendly retreat. With a zoo that highlights native Swedish animals and five museums that spring to life in the summer, there's something for everyone. Young children can play to their heart's content in the expansive playground, while visitors can also delight in summer stage performances, dine at the inn, or treat themselves at the ice-cream stall.

During the summer, South Harbour Park turns into a vibrant playa, teeming with life and activity for all to enjoy. Amongst waving palms, volleyball courts, and ice cream kiosks, visitors can engage in beach activities, creating a lively atmosphere. There is also the opportunity to borrow sports equipment for free via Fritidsbanken. Additionally, tour boats beckon from South Harbour, ready to ferry visitors into the enchanting archipelago. As the seasons shift to winter, the park adapts, offering warmth by fireside seats with views of the popular ice track leading to Gråsjälören and the Northern Harbor. Weekends are infused with family-friendly activities, making South Harbour a dynamic destination year-round.

Just a 90-minute drive from Townsville lies a spot where in 1871 gold was discovered by an Aboriginal boy named Jupiter. Today, the town called Charters Towers has 10,000 inhabitants and has some beautifully preserved 19th and early 20th century buildings from its heyday. It is well worth a visit for architecture lovers.
