Strömstad

Built around its sheltered harbour on the Skagerrak coast, Strömstad grew into a lively Swedish border town facing the outer Bohuslän archipelago. The town looks west towards the Koster Islands and Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden’s first marine national park, where sea and granite islets define the coastal setting. Strömstad received its town charter from King Gustav III in 1786, and its harbour remains central to local life, with ferries and boating traffic connecting the waterfront with the wider coast. Its proximity to Norway has also shaped its role as a destination for trade and holidays. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Bohuslän and Västra Götaland County.
