In the beautiful inner archipelago of Bohuslän lies Uddevalla, surrounded by cliffs, the salty sea, and lush forests. Here, there are activities for the whole family, no matter the season. Discover numerous hiking trails, historic viewpoints, and Sweden’s oldest seaside spa resort, Gustafsberg.

Uddevalla’s pride, the Strandpromenaden, with its spectacular wooden deck, is hugely popular with visitors and a must-visit destination. You can stroll along it to Gustafsberg or, in the summer, take the bath boat M/S Sunningen, which stops at piers along the promenade. In winter, you can enjoy both cold-water swims—a popular wellness trend—and sauna bathing in the area. In central Uddevalla, you’ll find excellent shopping, museums, cozy cafés, and activities for children. It’s also the perfect starting point for trips to many wonderful destinations along the west coast.

At Emaus Farm, there is plenty of space for play, games, and outdoor activities for both young and old with energy to spare. The animals can be seen in the pastures, and during the day there are also pop-up activities with the animals. Around the farm, a wheelchair- and stroller-friendly path leads visitors along a quiz trail with picnic and barbecue areas. For those seeking hiking, climbing, fishing, skiing, or berry and mushroom picking, the Herrestadsfjället Nature Reserve is a clear favorite.

Welcome to experience Uddevalla with family, friends, or as a romantic getaway. Food lovers are in for a treat—enjoy freshly caught fish and seafood typical of the region or embark on more globally inspired culinary adventures. Bon appétit!
