Discover Varberg

Welcome to Varberg – the coastal gem of Halland where historic bathing traditions meet surf culture and city life. Here, you’ll find beautiful beaches, fascinating history and a relaxed seaside atmosphere that attracts visitors all year round.


Coastal life, nature & location


Beautifully situated by the Kattegat Sea, Varberg offers long sandy beaches, cliffs and scenic coastal paths. Along the Strandpromenaden, you can stroll from Varberg Fortress to Apelviken – one of Sweden’s most popular spots for windsurfing and kitesurfing. For birdwatchers and nature lovers, Getterön Nature Reserve is a must-see, and just outside the city, the Åkulla Beech Forests invite you to explore lush hiking trails. Thanks to excellent train connections and proximity to the E6 motorway, Varberg is easy to reach from both Gothenburg and Halmstad.
