Welcome to Trollhättan – a city famous for its mighty waterfalls, historic locks and a thriving film industry that has earned it the nickname “Trollywood”. Here, nature experiences, culture and city life come together – just 75 km north of Gothenburg.

A city by the river

Trollhättan lies along the Göta River, surrounded by dramatic waterscapes and lush green areas. Explore the Älvrummet Nature Reserve, hike up to Kopparklinten for breathtaking views over the city, or cycle along the Trollhätte Canal. The city is just 35 minutes by train from Gothenburg, and nearby you’ll also find the Halle- and Hunneberg Ecopark, known for its striking table mountains and opportunities for moose safaris.

Attractions in Trollhättan

Among Trollhättan’s attractions, the mighty waterfalls and the historic lock system are the main highlights. During Fallens Dagar – Sweden’s oldest city festival – millions of litres of water thunder down in a dramatic display, accompanied by concerts, markets and family activities. Known as “Trollywood”, Trollhättan has become an important centre for Swedish film production – and along Storgatan’s Walk of Fame, famous film stars are celebrated. Don’t miss the Saab Car Museum, showcasing over 70 years of automotive history, or the interactive Innovatum Science Center, a favourite for the whole family.
