Västra Götaland County

Västra Götaland County has served as an administrative region within Sweden since 1998. It brings together the historic provinces of Västergötland, Bohuslän and Dalsland, extending from the Skagerrak coast to the shores of Lake Vänern, Sweden’s largest lake. Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, is its urban centre and a major port on the Göta älv. Along the coast, the Bohuslän archipelago is defined by granite islands and fishing communities, while inland waterways around Trollhättan connect Vänern with the west coast. Läckö Castle, on the shore of Vänern, recalls the region’s early-modern aristocratic past. Trace Västra Götaland County’s place in western Sweden by browsing webcams across the region.
