General presentation
Bohuslän
Fishing villages, pink granite islands and marine reserves border the coast north of Gothenburg.
The discovery of Bohuslän is centred around Smögen, Kosterhavet National Park and Nordiska Akvarellmuseumet. The stay thus alternates between the coast, island landscapes, natural spaces and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Smögen
Smögen stretches on a rocky island around a harbour bordered by ancient colourful hangars; the long wooden pier remains the lively heart of the village in summer.
Nature park
Parc national de Kosterhavet
Kosterhavet is Sweden's first national marine park and protects reefs, grasslands and saltwaters around the Koster Islands, which are explored by boat, kayak or from coastal trails.
Place indismissible
Nordiska Akvarellmuseet
The Nordic Watercolour Museum sets its rooms by the water in Skärhamn; exhibitions, workshops and artists' huts directly connect the pictorial practice with the island landscape.
