We made a stop here during our bike tour on the Kattegattleden. Ate ice cream and there are benches and toilets. A place to stay.

Varbergs Fästning is a fully preserved, imposing fortress from the early 17th century at the port of Varberg, the second largest city in the province of Halland on the Swedish west coast.

The fortress in Varberg is one of the most famous and probably the most visited attraction in the province of Halland. With its mighty walls and large bastions, it towers as a large bulwark on a hill between the city center and the sea coast.

Varberg Fortress - Well-preserved remains of a medieval fortress with a museum and views of the coast from the fortress walls.

Varberg Fortress is located at the port of the city of Varberg in the province of Hallands län. It was only slightly destroyed in modern times and can therefore be viewed almost true to the original. There is a youth hostel, restaurants and the cultural history museum on the site.

From the fortress you can see the whole city, the sea and the lighthouse in the south, which you can easily reach on foot or by bike via the beach promenade.
