Halmstad
Halmstad is located on the Swedish west coast in the south of Sweden. Not far from Gothenburg if you follow the coast in the north direction or the Danish capital Copenhagen in the south if you travel over the bridge of Öresund. Easily connected to the rest of Europe by the E6, the ferry from Grenå, Denmark, high speed train or to our own local airport.
Halmstad is the capital city of the Halland Province and has more than 100.000 inhabitants. The Nissan River splits the city into two sides before it finds its way to the sea. The majority of the population is crowded around the city centre, leaving hundreds of square kilometers of quiet countryside.
An idyllic west coast city with rich food culture and a wealth of outdoor activities, cycling, surfing, and golf, Halmstad is the capital of golf in Sweden and soon to be the Gravel Biking capital, too.
With a perfect mixture of sandy beaches and lush forests, this coastal city is worth visiting from so many perspectives. Halmstad has gravel climbs up to 130m, and with the rolling hills, it makes for breathtaking vistas and incredible cycling routes. Quiet roads, respectful drivers, and endless variability!
