The park features hills, valleys, and deciduous beech forests with rivers and various hiking trails of different lengths and difficulty levels.

Absolutely loved the place and they way it is organized. I took the blue path and highly recommend it for a one day visit. Take good shoes (not necessarily hiking ones) as it gets rocky in some places so definitely not sandals or open shoes.

We had a great walk here. The weather was rainy, but the nature was beautiful even so. Everything is clear and there are toilets and also some drinkable water at a place along the thread. There are several threads we walked the 7,7km one.

We went there on October 24th around 3 p.m. I know it was a bit late, but I only had a short time to see it. The drive to the park was very pleasant, and the parking lots were almost empty. Seeing it in the fall was truly beautiful - so colorful and peaceful. The trees, falling leaves, and the sound of the wind and water created a tranquil atmosphere. I really enjoyed my short visit there and took some amazing photos.

A breathtaking escape into nature! Söderåsen National Park is truly a hidden gem in southern Sweden. The scenery is absolutely stunning—lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful streams everywhere you look. The hiking trails are well-marked and range from easy walks to more challenging routes, so there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend the Skäralid valley hike and the lookout point at Kopparhatten—the views are unforgettable! The park is very well maintained, with clean rest areas and helpful maps. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day in nature, a family picnic, or a solo hiking adventure. I left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you’re in Skåne, Söderåsen is a must-visit!
Mohamad Z — Google review
One of the best national parks i have ever been to. The trails are marked well. One can very well rely on the trail signs on the trees to safely complete the trail without getting lost. I had the pleasure of taking the longest route - the blue trail. Its easy for the most part except for few elevations, which tested my endurance. Remainded me why its classified as hard. The lady in the reception was super kind and helped me with her suggestions of the trail.

I went on an adventure to Landskrona's Citadel, it's a nice place on a sunny day to go for a walk for everyone. There are many activities and places to enjoy in the area also. There is a cafe inside by the castle. further down the road there is a outdoor training grounds and a skate park by the water tower, you can lay on the sun loungers that is set up facing the ocean where you can enjoy the view of the beautiful view. Furthermore, there are several places where there is a barbecue (grilling) spots with seats. * for parents or people with kids there are a playgrounds for the little ones down by the beach. Right next to the Citadel is Kaptensgården's sculpture park which is beautiful to walk through and there are many sculptures to look at and enjoy. I fully recommend this city and place.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Mentioned on 
+9 other lists 
Modern art museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
Super fun place to examine modern art. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of modern art but this place was a lot of fun. The sculpture garden was the highlight but in a very special way. Be sure to first experience seeing the sculptures from inside the museum as you peruse the other exhibits then experience them from the outside. This made me really appreciate how well the sculpture and the building integrates with each other and with the surrounding environment - both the rise and fall of the property and the background of the sea and sky. Just a superb experience.
Dennis L — Google review
About an hour by train outside of Copenhagen city centre and then 10 minutes walk from Humlebaek station. The ticket can be book online but it was also super easy to buy it on arrival with no queue when we go on Sunday midday. There are a little bit of outdoor sculptures and some indoor gallery. Nice view and some interesting displays. There are 2 gift shops, one on the ground floor and one downstairs. I had a fun train ride.
Penny G — Google review
This museum is a wonderful reason to take a short trip and experience another side of Denmark beyond Copenhagen. It offers a great opportunity to focus on and appreciate the works of talented contemporary artists. The outdoor installations, in particular, blend beautifully with the gardens and surrounding landscape. The number of artworks feels just right—not overwhelming—allowing you to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and relax as you explore, especially on a pleasant day.
Jaemin L — Google review
Really amazing museum. Large galleries, beautiful outdoor space with ocean views, great 2-story gift shop and restaurant. Plan to spend about 2.5 hours wondering around. Really enjoyed the exhibits and architecture. We bought our tickets online and they were good for one use within one year of the time of purchase. The train ride is about an hour from downtown Copenhagen.
Alan Y — Google review
Beautiful museum, really recommend the trip out of the city to visit. Great, easy train journey too with a short walk to the museum which is set in the most fabulous building and grounds. We booked tickets in advance so we didn’t have to queue, which id recommend if you can. Loved the sculpture garden, definitely go on a dry day so you can make the most of the gardens and the views over the water. Wonderful cafe, with space to eat/drink outside in the sun. Great coffee. Beautiful shop with loads of fab design based gifts, art prints, ceramics, books and accessories. Cloakroom space through the back of the shop to store bags and coats in lockers is so useful. A card machine is available for those without local coins to use.

After being to several modern arts meseums I think they are not for my taste.I have to be objective tho. I think the exhibitions were smartly and beautifuly placed. The place itself was clean and not overcrowded. Nice cafe to relax, have a drink or a snack. Beautiful views at the sea while you walk in the garden area.
Andrew K — Google review
Visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art was one of the highlights of our Copenhagen trip; it made for such a beautiful day out of the city. The museum is located in Humlebæk, about 35–40 minutes north of Copenhagen. We took the train and the journey was quick, scenic and very comfortable; once you arrive it’s only a short 10 walk from the station to the entrance ( just follow the crowd) The museum first opened in 1958 and was created with the vision of making modern art accessible in a place where people could experience it alongside nature rather than in a formal or intimidating setting. The architecture is stunning! Designed by Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert, and the layout feels thoughtful and calm. There are long corridors of glass, open courtyards, natural light everywhere and pathways that lead you between indoor gallery spaces and the outdoors. It’s the kind of building where you notice something beautiful around every corner. The museum is known for showcasing both international and Danish modern and contemporary artists. They have an incredible permanent collection, and new exhibitions are rotated throughout the year so there is always something fresh to experience. The sculpture garden overlooking the sea might have been my favourite part; walking through the garden with large scale artworks and hearing the ocean just behind them felt very special. Inside there are two places to eat: one café outdoors along the sculpture garden path, and one beautiful indoor restaurant with large windows facing the ocean. We stopped at the restaurant and enjoyed a glass of wine and something delicious to eat while looking out over the coastline; such a peaceful moment in the middle of exploring. There is also a fantastic gift shop filled with design pieces, prints, books and souvenirs. Perfect if you want to take something home to remember your visit. This museum is big; we spent nearly the entire day there and I’m glad we didn’t rush. We took our time walking through the exhibitions, stopping for breaks, sitting outside, and exploring the gardens. It is absolutely the kind of place where slowing down makes the experience even better. Entry tickets cost 145 DKK for adults, with students holding a valid student card paying 125 DKK. Children and young adults under 18 have free entry. We bought our tickets on arrival and there was no wait at all, which made our visit feel relaxed from the start. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 22:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00; the museum is closed on Mondays. I imagine summer weekends are the busiest, so if you prefer a quieter experience, weekdays are probably ideal. A quote that came to mind while wandering around was “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” It felt fitting, because this place truly lifts something inside you. If you are visiting Copenhagen and want a day where art, architecture and nature come together beautifully, I highly recommend coming here. It’s calming, inspiring and incredibly memorable; I would happily return again.

Lovely museum situated in a gorgeous place looking out on the ocean and Sweden. Loved some of the art, hated some of the art - the perfect modern art experience. The grounds were fun to explore and linked together with the sculptures and exhibition wings beautifully. Amazing shop as well, I wish I had more money as I would happily take most of it home

Kronborg Castle

Mentioned on 
58 lists 
Castle
Museums
Kronborg Castle, also known as Hamlet's Castle, is a 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece located in Helsingor, Denmark. This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for being the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet.' The castle features baroque green-copper spires and is surrounded by moats and fortifications. Visitors can explore the inner palace's royal chambers, tapestries, ceiling paintings, and viewpoints.
Good: ✅ This is THE attraction in town. Beautiful property, castle, and engaging museum. ✅ Tailored visits. With a few hours on hand, pay admission and see it all. If short on time, walk the exteriors (amazing views) at no cost. Either journey is at your own pace. ✅ Well organized. There are sections of the castle with color-coded entrances from the main courtyard. A color-coded map is provided making it easy to make choices—see what you want. Caution: ❌ Obviously, a rainy day will alter the outdoor experience. However, for those paying admission, there is still so much to see inside. Summary: Aside from the adjacent cobblestone streets meandering through a charming cluster of shops and restaurants (an attraction on its own), the Kronborg Castle is the star attraction in town. An exploration will not disappoint.
Troy W — Google review
Kronborg Castle is one of the most impressive and atmospheric places I visited in Denmark. Overlooking the Øresund Strait, this UNESCO World Heritage site is not only visually stunning, but also packed with history and character. Known worldwide as “Hamlet’s Castle,” it fully lives up to its fame. The rooms and royal chambers are beautifully preserved, giving you a real sense of the grandeur of the Danish monarchy in the Renaissance era. But the highlight for me was exploring the dark, eerie casemates — the old military barracks beneath the castle. Walking through those damp, stone tunnels really brings the past to life. You can almost feel the presence of the soldiers who once took shelter there. And then there's Holger Danske, the legendary statue deep in the basement. According to Danish folklore, this mythical warrior sleeps under Kronborg Castle and will rise to defend Denmark in her time of need. Seeing the statue in the dim light down there added a magical, almost mythological touch to the whole experience. If you're into history, legends, or just want to explore a magnificent fortress with great views and an unforgettable atmosphere, Kronborg is absolutely worth the visit. Take your time — there’s a lot to discover.
Dmitry Z — Google review
Learned a lot about Danish history at Kronborg Castle — magnificent architecture and rich stories of kings and battles. The tower visit is absolutely worthwhile, offering stunning views over Helsingør and across to Sweden. A must-see for anyone interested in history, culture, and royal heritage.

What an experience! One of the most interesting castle I have ever visited. There many things to see during your visit there make sure to be on time so you don't miss anything. The underneath area was very spooky and adventurous!
Andrew K — Google review
Visiting Kronborg Castle was such a wonderful way to start our week in Denmark; we went on a Monday (during shoulder season) and it set the tone beautifully for our week ahead. The castle is located in the quaint town of Helsingør, about 45 minutes by train from central Copenhagen. The ride is comfortable and scenic, and from the station it’s a short walk into town and up to the castle grounds. We paid about 145 DKK for adult entry, students 125 DKK, and children under 18 were free. Kronborg dates back to the early 1420s when a fortress first stood here; later in the 16th century King Frederick II transformed it into the grand Renaissance castle you see today. The setting is dramatic: right at the narrowest point of the Øresund Strait, looking across toward Sweden, which explains its historic importance. The connection to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet adds a layer of legend and story: this very site inspired the “Elsinore” of the play. “To be, or not to be” seems almost to float in the air when you walk the corridors. We spent a few hours exploring and I’m so glad we didn’t rush; We enjoyed the whole castle, then ventured down into the crypts beneath the castle which felt a bit eerie, then examined the great halls, ramparts, the chapel and the sweeping views over the water. There’s a nice café inside and the gift shop nearby is well worth a browse and I found some beautiful keepsakes to take home. The town of Helsingør is charming, with historic buildings, small cafés and the sea at its doorstep; combining lunch in the town centre with our castle visit made for a really nice day out of the city. One important note: accessibility is limited; the castle has many stairs and no elevator, so it’s not ideal for wheelchairs. Opening hours when we visited were Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 until 16:00 in the off-peak season; the castle is closed on Mondays. During spring and summer months the hours are extended and on major holidays special times apply, so it’s worth checking ahead. Summer weekends in particular can get busier; if you prefer quieter exploring aim for a weekday morning. If you’re in Copenhagen and craving a day trip with history, drama and stunning scenery, I highly recommend Kronborg Castle.
Happy D — Google review
Few things you can say about Kronborg Castle other than incredible. There’s so much to see, experience, and learn here — the amount of history within these walls is astounding. The preservation work is truly impressive, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate this remarkable piece of Denmark’s heritage. I had an amazing time touring the castle and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A magical place full of history! Kronborg Castle is truly impressive - elegant, mysterious, and full of stories. The view of the sea is breathtaking, and it's easy to imagine Shakespeare's Hamlet walking through the halls. Beautiful architecture, calm atmosphere, and great exhibitions. Just make sure to dress warmly - it can be quite windy there, even in spring!

Kronborg is wonderful and easy day trip from Copenhagen on the train. It exceeded all expectations. The castle is gorgeous. The exhibits are fantastically interactive and engaging.

Maritime museum
Museums
The M/S Maritime Museum in Helsingor, Denmark offers a unique underground experience showcasing the history of Danish seafaring and trade. The modern building provides an intriguing setting for exhibits on this maritime heritage. Located on the northeast coast of Zealand, it stands opposite Helsingborg, Sweden. The museum is a must-visit destination for those interested in delving into Denmark's rich seafaring past.
The museum was very informative and attractive. For adults and for the kids it's for everyone who wants to learn something about Danish maritime history. The museum shop was weak if I compare it with the Viking museum in Roskilde. But overall I definitely recommend this museum. Actually just for this museum you can come to Helsingør.
Yunus D — Google review
Worth a trip to Denmark! It’s not only worth a detour to finish your Copenhagen pass, it could be the cornerstone of your entire trip; according to the Michelin rating, it’s the top note! The museum is set in a dry dock, adorning an incredible architecture. Very kids friendly, with a huge playing area that also instructs, it offers a story within the story with a clandestine mouse that the kids have to hunt for. As for the adults, the museum is multifaceted, showing history, WWII, the influence of shipping, but also stunning models and a mesmerizing photo exhibit of sunk boats and their treasures. Tank to the team, always smiling as they provide answers to the most obscure questions, and the generous donators that made this museum possible. The shop offers quality products designed or made in Denmark. If the cafe is closed, there is a huge indoor food trucks area nearby! There’s more than Hamlet in Helsingør!

It was our second visit to the museum, which underwent an excellent renovation during the winter of 2024–spring 2025. We continue to love the place, as do our kids. It’s a spot where you can learn a great deal about Denmark’s maritime history and spend hours admiring the many boat models. We highly recommend a visit and suggest planning to spend 2–3 hours there.

This museum is so much fun, it deserves all 5/5 stars. Not 4.5, not 4.7, but a proper 5. The effect the museum had on us is that our new dreamjob is to design museums about on the surface boring subjects. Making ships this interesting, quite the accomplishment. It was very interactive, we learned a lot and we loved finding the hidden mice 🐭 (and we're grownups!) Discovered this museum thanks to the CPH card, and would recommend anyone to make a stop here, along with the castle right next to it. Great stuff!

Wonderful peninsula for hiking - no difficulties. The round tour (marked orange) is recommended. Pack a bathing suit and plenty of time, it's worth it. The visit to the centre at the top (halfway point) is also worthwhile. Especially noteworthy, outside, the litter educational trail with the final post with plastic bags to help keep nature clean.

A nice view of the sea. Lot's of black berries around the hiking path. Parking is available on the site. Then you have to walk. Wheel chairs are not suitable as hiking area. There is a small ice cream shop and washrooms are also available in the shop. At exhibition area, you can see information about sea animals. In some areas you can take a sea bath. A beautiful place to visit in summer.

Great spot to spend quality time with friends and family. Plenty of parking spaces available. There is a fee of 30kr to go on top of the lighthouse. You will get a binocular to look around. There are at least 5 hiking trails around this place with easy to hard difficulty levels. Be prepared for strong winds.

A beautiful nature area with fantastic places to take a bath and we even saw people jumping from a cliff into the water. Although we didn't dare. Highly recommended! Bring good walking/climbing shoes. The terrain can be hard to walk. We had a great time

Very very beautiful place. However certainly not really accessible with trolleys and kids if you want to go all the way down to the ocean. But anyway worth a visit. Good parking possibilities (free of charge), even possible to charge EV and PHEV vehicles. No idea about cost though.

Fine sand beach with a beautiful view. Perfect beach for family with kids which means it can get really crowded on a warm summer day. There are restaurants close by and public toilets too.

Very nice white sand beach! Great for long walks bathe with some algae in the sea! You will get a foul smell in the morning due to see weed and algae floating to shore. Very well maintained beach 🏖️ with plenty of free parking, toilets and restaurants nearby. Its best on the Sunny days as there isn’t so much wind due to bushes and sand piles on the end of shore. If you have a good company or looking for a solace then this beach is apt! Enjoy

Nice beach in Halmstad. The water is very quiet and clean. It is a four-kilometre-long beach. It has been named Sweden’s best beach time and time again. You can even enjoy a walk and find Tjuvahålan and Svärjarehålan. The two bays have a small beach, rocks and a jetty – perfect for a nice walk with friends and family.

Gekås

Department store
Shopping
Well-known superstore selling diverse goods on an expansive property with a campground & hotel.
Easily my favorite outlet store in Sweden. Super big store with a lot of different products at lower prices. Not recommended for me to travel here often because it gets expensive due to cheap prices. 😅 It has a cafe, restaurants and everything one needs to spend the entire day in the store.
Joy G — Google review
Finally a store that has some - not much - mama clothes! Their kids clothes department had a good organization, there were signs where you can see the size of clothes you are looking for so you don't need to look through the whole department. On the other hand, if you download their own map over the store you can see they have marked up the store by letter+number combination. Very smart thinking but they fall half way. At the map you can also look for what you might be looking for... Maybe it's like for me mama clothes but no, it's not specified where by letter+number you can find it in the store 😐 So one have to disturb the staff everytime you can't find the stuff you are looking for. 🫤 So one could have been much more independent if one just have the information... Maybe an app over the departments if it changes a lot, could be next step? To visit early in the morning, midweek, was a really good idea. It got crowded first around lunchtime. If you are quick you can be done by lunch.
Malin S — Google review
Chaos...chaos..chaos.. The prizes are maybe somewhat lower then usual, but thats only the case when you buy in bulk and really need it. We ve scored some Legos for some kids back home, because that's the only thing that was cheaper. Because it's so big and busy, we couldn't see everything, be sure you arrive in time and take a couple of days to visit.. For us, yeah it was fun, but not sure we'll go back again..

There are 2 restaurant to eat. It worth to travel from far if you are planning to buy like more than 10k Sek..
Basavaraju N — Google review
If you need your day to day items shopping done this is a good place to be at. Especially if you need quality clothes for babies/kids without spending a fortune. But don't expect to be buying in bulk and make huge savings. The prizes are the same or just below as other budget stores in Sweden. But you will not have any problem finding what you need in the same store.
Erik J — Google review
What a store, unbelievable experience!! Never thought such a store exists in Sweden. Never have I been to such a large store with so much different things! They literally have everything, outdoor furniture, shampoo, breads and soo much more! As a tourist you have to visit this place.
Dennis M — Google review
There is plenty of parking in close proximity to the entrance. Once inside you will be greeted by the great assortment of clothes (some of which are by known brands such as Hugo Boss). There are also many other products and some restaurants. The only negative is that it’s often quite crowded, expect so wait in line at the counters for at least 10 minutes.

Halland Museum of Cultural History

Mentioned on

Museum
Cafeteria
The Halland Museum of Cultural History, located in an ancient seaside fort, offers a glimpse into the rich past of Halland. The museum showcases human remains from the Middle Ages and exhibits on local history, including evidence of Viking settlements dating back to the 8th century. Visitors can explore medieval castles, quaint fishing villages, and learn about the region's contested history between Denmark and Sweden.
Great experience, it has information in English and Swedish. It shows a lot of history about Varberg and Halland County. It was worth it buying the ticket and helpful staff who provided us with a discount for students.

If you like mud you can by it in the museum's store. The store people can tell whatever you want to here about the purpose of this mud. Just tell them what you want to use it for, they'll repeat it then. Have fun and mud on!

Tjolöholm Castle

Castle
Nature & Parks
English-style castle in early 20th-century decor, with landscaped park & gardens, plus guestrooms.
Castle Visit (Not Stay) I am lucky I visited this castle and took a guided tour. The entire premises (Entrance/parking/gardens/Cafes/The Castle itself) are well maintained. The castle is in excellent shape and very elegant. Just imagining what the original residents must have felt to stay here. The guided tour is nice. Gives quick insights into the castle history. There is a nice beach behind the castle. In a summer, families can arrange a one day picnic to this place. Tourists should allocate around 3-4 hours to visit the place in its entireity. Tickets can be purchased on site. There is not much rush.
Eshant S — Google review
Visited from a cruise ship while docked in Gothenburg. Firstly it is not a hotel but a visitor attraction and museum. It took us around 30 mins on the coach to arrive at the castle but it is well worth the drive. It is now a museum as such and is very well maintained. We had a guided tour and the history was explained very well from the castles conception to the family that built it (actually a Scotsman). What I liked most was that while it is a museum walking around it still felt lived in and quite homely to me which added to its attraction. All the original artefacts and fittings are still on display and there is plenty to see. There is some great views from the windows and the gardens are well maintained. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour and I would consider it a must see attraction when visiting Gothenburg. You can get afternoon tea if you wish but unfortunately we did not have the time for that.

Right. So you get to Tjolöholm. And of course, being in Scandinavia, it's a few minutes past 5 pm, so the doors are all locked. Perfectly predictable, isn't it? A bit of a shame, but as it turns out, it really doesn't matter. Even from the outside, the place is just brilliant. My word, it's a magnificent, imposing building that looks like something out of a film. And the location? A proper triumph. Perched right there, overlooking the water. It's utterly stunning and perfectly placed. It proves that a place can be brilliant even if you can’t get inside. It makes you feel genuinely happy for the person who lived there. A proper, lucky soul.

I love visiting Tjolöholm castle, although its more like a stately home. You'd never imagine this place in Sweden, its more befitting to a victorian family in England. Not surprising as it was built as a tribute to a Scottish business man by his widow. Lots of interesting rooms to visit. It's changed since I first visited 30 years ago. Definitely worth a visit. Great cafe on-site! Car park could be closer. My sister struggled to walk to the home due to recovery from surgery but persisted.

Although prices have increased, the variety of shops available makes it a must-visit destination for fashion enthusiasts.

Visited Hede Fashion Outlet recently and had a good experience overall. The outlet has a nice atmosphere-spacious, clean, and not too crowded. It's a great place to spend a few hours shopping. You'll find many big international brands, especially for dresses, bags, and shoes. Prices vary-some stores offer real outlet deals, while others feel more like regular retail with small discounts. But if you look around, you can definitely find good bargains. There's also a small selection of cafés and restaurants to take a break-like Espresso House

This outlet is quite different from what you might know from countries like Germany or the Netherlands. It is smaller, the selection is less, and it is super empty. However, the salespeople are very nice and try to help wherever they can! Compared to the aforementioned countries, the prices are significantly cheaper. Therefore, it is definitely worth a visit to save some money.

Universeum

Mentioned on

Science museum
Museums
Universeum is a top-notch museum for kids in Sweden, featuring seven floors of interactive experiences with themes like the brain, the ocean, and space. The museum boasts a huge diplodocus at its entrance and is located near Liseberg amusement park. Visitors can explore large aquariums, a rainforest with tropical birds and butterflies, life-sized dinosaurs, and even experience Swedish wilderness and space travel. Additionally, the Universeum Science Discovery Centre offers interactive experiments and a rainforest exhibit.
A fantastic place for both adults and children! The facilities are very clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to visit. The restrooms are spotless, and there is also a small café where you can take a break and enjoy a snack. The exhibition is divided into several themed zones, each offering something unique. The tropical zone is particularly impressive — it’s quite hot inside, so I recommend not bringing warm clothes, otherwise you’ll just end up carrying them around. While there aren’t a huge number of animals, the way everything is presented, the design, and the overall concept are truly impressive for both kids and adults. The large aquariums filled with different species of fish are especially captivating, giving you the feeling of being immersed in an underwater world. This is definitely a place worth visiting with the whole family. It combines entertainment with educational value, leaving you with vivid memories and a strong desire to come back again.

Great experience! I actually went twice during my visit to Gothenburg. I went by myself at first and spend 1.5 hours there, enjoyed it so much that I went again with my partner for another hour. So much to see and enjoy for all ages. Definitely recommend visiting. It was a bit busy when I went during the day because there were some school classes also there (a lot of kids). The second time I went an hour before closing and it was quieter then.

Was a bit disappointed, there were a lot of aquariums or displays « in construction » or empty. The aquarium side seemed to be a bit abandoned. There was still a lot of information given by the posters. The rainforest was very nice, with birds flying freely in the space. Again, many things were just empty. It is nice that you have other exhibitions includes with you entry (body, space, data). It’s very kids oriented. Normally I enjoy aquariums as much as kids, but for this one I should’ve skipped it, not enough fishes (no jelly fish for example, very few mantras, lack of fish in the big fish tunnel). Good thing is after 16:30 it’s only 200kr!

It's nicely designed & well made, we loved it! -1⭐️ because they (currently?) have a massive spider problem! Codwebs are EVERYWHERE & you genuinely have to be careful from spiders hanging from ceilings (we had to duck under 3 & probably still disturbed some nets) It therefore looks a little badly taken care of because of that.. So be warned it you suffer from Arachnophobia haha

A full day of fun, learning, and exploring nature! Universeum is great for kids and families. Don’t miss the incredible Wisdome experience; the 3D universe and T.Rex shows were highlights. Be sure to ask for the English recorded machine if needed. The Aquarium and reptiles section was very good. While the Rainforest was good, we noticed many animals were missing and could only spot flamingos. Despite the missing rainforest residents, the overall experience was excellent and highly recommended.
Chakradhar — Google review
Honestly, it's a bit for kids but me and two other 40 year old men still enjoyed it. Go in, go to the elevators at the back and go to floor 7. We went in after 3pm so it was cheaper. From there there's a series of ramps and you can basically walk down through the whole building. Floor to ceiling fish tanks, reptile area, space and science area with a cloud chamber that was cool. Little screen with some cool videos. Then you can go through the hot house floors, nipping out through the airlocks to checkout the floors adjacent on your way down as it's very humid in there, breaks recommended. For us it filled a few hours and one of us needs a walking stick so highly recommend that top down route for that reason.

Gothenburg Botanical Garden, also known as Botaniska Tradgarden, is a sprawling and tranquil oasis that offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Established in 1916, this expansive 432-acre garden is one of Europe's largest botanical gardens. It features over 16,000 plant species, including rare and endangered ones, housed in greenhouses with exhibitions.
Beautiful Garden with loads of different plants and trees. You can walk around and enjoy nature. It’s wheelchair accessible but the garden in total is having some steep parts. The restaurant in the garden has some really delicious food for reasonable prices. The entry is free but you can pay something if you want to help keeping the garden - amazing concept. I will definitely come back here ❤️

One of the largest botanical gardens in Europe. Free admission, with optional donations. It feels more like a vast natural park — almost like a national park — right in the middle of Gothenburg. Perfect for picnics, sunbathing, or hiking up to a small mountain that was recently cleared after being overgrown for decades. Walking here feels like stepping into wild nature. Highly recommended for stress relief.

Like many things in Gothenburg there is construction and/or renovation occurring and the botanical garden is no exception as the glass houses are being replaced and won’t be open until 2030. The map of the garden is a great guide but recommend going to the wild side, Smith Valley and getting to the high point with great views.drop down from here into the rock garden with the waterfall. Definitely worth the visit.

It is a nice, diverse garden with different sections. It also goes up quite a bit, so be prepared. The mainroad is easy to walk, at some places it gets quite steep. This could be difficult for older people or people with children. Additionally, there are many side ways but there are steps most of the time, so plan accordingly. We couldn't visit the greenhouses because they are under construction (like 50% of the city at the moment, at least it felt like it)

Over 30 aquariums fed by seawater, home to sharks, crabs & starfish, with tunnels & touch pools.
I really liked this place and our daughter loved it. Very informative and educational information. There are a lot of different animals. Fish in all shapes and all other animals that live in the big blue ocean. There's no problem finding all fishes that are in each tank. Each tank is well clean and it was just a fun and interesting visit. There's a small playground inside and a bigger ship shaped outside. She loved both. The only negative is that it is too small. You will walk through it way too fast. But all in all it is worth a visit if you have not been here before.

Fun for children and the underwater glass tunnel was nice. The rest of the tanks were smaller with typical Swedish west coast underwater wildlife. The place is not very big but we also did the "seal safari" which was well worth the money. It was actually nicer than the aquarium itself

Zoo

Zoo with program for rearing & re-release of endangered & native species, plus a restaurant & hotel.
We visited during the few days they are open in the winter holiday, and it was a fantastic experience. There weren’t too many people, so it was lovely and peaceful to walk around the beautiful park. The staff were incredibly kind and took the time to explain and show us things—we even got to see the owls being fed. The animals are beautiful and seem to be well cared for in their enclosures. It’s a truly impressive park, and we highly recommend it!
Clara L — Google review
An amazing experience, showcasing the freedom and vastness of the space, with the enclosures feeling just like their normal habitats. We got to see them in action taking care of the owl hatchlings as well. Couldn't see the snow leopard which is one of my favourite animals but will definitely go again to be able to see it!
Wendell F — Google review
They have a big parking area, nice to walk around with kids , many stations with playgrounds, wc 🚻 and get food or water. The restaurant doesn't offer a buffet ( that I think will make it better ) just pizza 🍕 some swedish dishes . We saw a few animals but the amazing 😍 was the leopard 🐆 And they have a small but cute gif store.
Azrim O — Google review
Beautiful location with amazing animals to see. We had a special Meet and Greet with the Snow Leopards and had a amazing time. Lots of walking, but the walkways are clean and the views are beautiful. We saw snow Leopards, another type of Leopards, tiger, deer, birds, and other animals during our visit. Well worth the trip.

Nordens Ark is a wonderful place to see unique species like dholes, red pandas, and Pallas’s cats. The enclosures are spacious and well-designed, reflecting the park’s strong commitment to conservation and animal welfare. I really had an amazing experience!
Gyajo L — Google review
It’s difficult to leave a clear review, as my feelings about this place are quite mixed. The park itself is huge and located in a beautiful area. The grounds are very well-maintained and clean, making it pleasant to walk around. There are plenty of restrooms throughout the park and even a small café where you can take a break. The animals look healthy and well cared for, which is great to see — but unfortunately, there aren’t very many of them. For kids, there is also a small playground, which is a nice touch. On the downside, the entrance fee feels overpriced, especially considering the limited number of animals and the overall impression. My personal ratings: • Cleanliness and comfort — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Healthy and well-kept animals — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Number of animals — ⭐⭐⭐ • Emotional experience — ⭐⭐ • Price — ⭐⭐ Overall, it’s a place with a beautiful setting and good care for animals, but with a rather high price and not as exciting as expected.
Den F — Google review
We checked both the website and the app, but unfortunately, after an hour's drive, upon arrival, the main part of the park was closed due to the weather. Paying 100 kroner per person for a mediocre petting zoo simply wasn't worth it.

Vitlycke Museum

Temporarily Closed
Archaeological museum
Museums
History Museums
Specialty Museums
After visiting the beautiful Elgåfossen waterfall, we continued our journey with a 30 km drive and stopped for lunch at the Tanum shopping area. From there, it was just another 5 km to reach one of Sweden’s true historical gems: the Tanum World Heritage Site and Vitlycke Museum. Unfortunately, we arrived just after the museum had closed for the day at 4 PM, so we couldn’t go inside. But luckily, several of the ancient rock carving sites are located outdoors, on the hillside overlooking the museum. We followed short trails through the forest, each just a few minutes’ walk apart, and visited six fascinating sites. These rock carvings are incredibly interesting and date back to the Bronze Age, around 3,000 years ago. They include depictions of people, animals, rituals, and boats. In fact, while looking at one of the carvings, I suddenly realized where the design on the Swedish 50kronor banknote comes from , it’s taken directly from one of these ancient boat carvings! That little discovery added a whole new layer of connection to the place. It’s easy to imagine that thousands of years ago, when the landscape was more open and less covered in vegetation, these carvings were more visible and widespread. Today, many may still be hidden beneath soil, moss, or lichen. Overall, visiting this mysterious and ancient place left a deep impression, a strange and powerful feeling, as if walking through whispers from the past. A must-visit for anyone who loves history, nature, or simply discovering the unexpected.
Abbas G — Google review
Free entrance for students and kids, nonetheless the entrance for adults isn’t too expensive and it’s okay. The museum itself was inside and was really beautiful, you can go around the museum and directly to the outside if you just wanna see the carvings, but all the explanations in the museum are really well made, showing artefacts found in these sites and similar and it’s really informative. I actually learnt a lot about these kind of carvings thanks to the museum.

It is an amazing place with Bronze Era rock art. Huge pictures on stone surfaces. A lot of places, big area. It is comparable with Alta Rock Art Museum in Norway. Really recommend to all people, especially for those, who likes such places. Be ready to walk long distances. BTW, there is a good cafe))) Unfortunately, they don't have mugs with stone pictures in their store)))
Valentin — Google review
Make sure to check the tour and activity schedule before your visit. We visited this UNESCO site a few years ago and had a very memorable experience. At the time, the museum was under renovation, but we joined a guided tour to the large rock carvings, which was fascinating. The activities at the Bronze Age garden were also engaging and enjoyable — great for both adults and kids. This summer, we returned with visiting friends, hoping to share that same great experience. Unfortunately, we arrived a bit too late and missed the last guided tour and all the activities in the Bronze Age garden had already ended for the day. We ended up only visiting the museum exhibition, which was a disappointment. The exhibition alone does not justify the ticket price — there’s very little to see beyond a few artifacts and mostly text-heavy information boards. Unless you’re a hardcore Viking enthusiast, I wouldn’t recommend visiting just the exhibition room on its own.

Such a gorgeous little island. Very easy to get the ferry to from Strönmstad and fairly cheap too. It was a beautiful hot summers day when I went. There was only 2 restaurants where we got off on the island (North Koster) One of the restaurants was actually a hot dog/pizza stall. So be warned. But it was lovely to walk around.
Olivia F — Google review
Ferry to the islands and back was 280 SEK but it was fun. The island was quite nice with some wonderful scapes, a fantastic view and great trails to walk through. But there are lots of tourists in the main season of course, that was a little too stressful at the ferrys and main points
Flix — Google review
Beautiful islands with incredible beaches, hills and forests. Perfect for spending a day or even staying a little longer and exploring by foot. You can arrive at one ferry port and depart from another, so you can walk in pretty much any direction you want. Just be mindful of the time schedule.

Nord-Koster and the ocean surrounding it is a great experience. The trail around the Nord-Koster island has a lot of different micro-landscapes, a rich bird life, and nice view towards the ocean and the sunset if you choose the right time of day.
Erik P — Google review
Not our favourite national park, but at least good. We payed 280 SEK for the ferry (round trip means return ticket btw). The ferry goes approx. every 2 hours. It took 4 hours to go around the South Island where the most part consists of the National Park. The yellow way was not very interesting, the red one at the coast was beautiful and the mini coral reef is really worth looking. This was nr 17 of 30 national parks for us. We recommend Skulleskogen for a more natural coast area.

Fredriksten fortress

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the charming town of Halden, Fredriksten Fortress is a remarkable 17th-century structure steeped in military history. This impressive stone fortress spans an expansive area and features various elements such as storehouses, bastions, and deep passageways that invite exploration. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape while wandering through its well-preserved rooms. The fortress also serves as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting events and festivals throughout the year that bring history to life.
A must see in Halden, a big place with history, legends and spectacular view over Halden and surrowndings. There are enough parking places, a golf spot, a museum and you can drive the car right next to the fortress. It has a lot of places to see, you can see some rooms and it is so well preserved. They organize events there.
Ralteo — Google review
Fantastic Fortress in the top of the mountain in Halden with great panoramic views of the surrounding area. It is extremely difficult to believe that battles were fought here! Even harder to believe that a Swedish king died there! Bring comfortable clothing and good shoes. The walks can be difficult and the acess to some areas hard. Good parking! Extremely recommended!
Luis L — Google review
It was early morning when I arrived here. The color of the roofs, perfectly suited for mid-October, was lovely, and the atmosphere was wonderful. ​I felt like a Norwegian soldier guarding the fortress, as if I had stepped back to 1807. ​Though it is now a symbolic fortress protecting Halden, its spirit was very much alive. It was even better because the most delicious and magnificent "Restaurant Curtisen" is also located in Halden. ​When I return to Halden, I will visit again and have a delicious and dignified meal at "Restaurant Curtisen". Wait for me, "Restaurant Curtisen."

Muhammad B — Google review
The fortress is a remarkably well-preserved and impressive example of 17th-century period architecture. Built by Denmark-Norway after the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, it carries both historical and cultural significance, standing as a replacement for the lost Bohus fortress. Named after King Fredrik III, it not only reflects the military engineering of its time but also shaped the identity of the nearby town, which bore the name Fredrikshald for centuries. Walking through its grounds today offers a unique glimpse into history, with its strong walls, commanding views, and the sense of resilience it represents. It remains a beautifully maintained site and a valuable monument to Scandinavian heritage.

The slides and pools were great and fun for kids, but we felt the spa options were quite limited—especially for toddlers. Hairdryers were weak, so it's a good idea to bring your own. Sauna choices were fewer than expected, and the showers felt a bit awkward. Since we visited during the holidays, it was very crowded, and the changing rooms were often messy—understandably, as not everyone cleaned up after themselves.

Great place to visit with families, swing, eat, relax, spa. Much fun for the kids. Nice service. Like the new lock system. No need to bring own lock. You might have problems if you forgot something and need to exit building due to the new lock. But not a problem. The price is a bit high for a family to visit, unfortunately. Go a bit later to avoid crowded guests. Will be back☺ hope they will set the price lower for families.

I was disappointed to visit this swimming pool. The whole complex looks rather old, not modern at all, starting with lockers and showers, to the three tube-slides and the pool itself, with not very clean and clear water, no tiles on the walls or bottom of the pool. Lots of children visiting the pool (main one, unfortunately) and jumping into it from the springboards and the diving tower, making a lot of noise and blocking all lanes but ONE for those who want to swim. After kids are gone, still only two lanes are available for swimming. The two saunas (one dry and one damp) do work, but again, are old-fashioned and not really pleasant to visit. There is a nice warm-water small pool and a Jacuzzi outdoors, worth recommending, though.

M.B S — Google review
I’ve taken two trips daily, week on/week off, for the past 8 years—back to when foot passengers still had to pay. In all that time, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been greeted with a simple “hello” or “god morgen” by staff. That’s… impressive, in the worst way. The crew directing vehicles in both Moss and Horten seem far more interested in hiding in their shelters to smoke or having a chat out of sight than doing their jobs. Drivers often end up confused, only to be met with aggressive waving as if it’s our fault we can’t read minds. Paying customers shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience. Special mention to the guy in the white baseball cap who looks like he thoroughly can't wait to retire and forget about sea life, and also to the one who seems convinced he’s launching fighter jets off the USS Gerald R. Ford - some common cheer wouldn't go amiss! Considering the prices you charge for vehicle transport, the lack of basic courtesy and professionalism is frankly embarrassing. Word spreads—your cold attitude isn’t just noticed, it’s discussed in the travel and tourism community. Time to raise the bar.

Faraaz A — Google review
Tusenfryd is a charming theme park near Oslo. It's easily accessible with a direct bus connection. The park is built on a hillside so there might be some steep walks as you go through the park, but the view is well worth it. I visited on a quiet day, but operations were still fast resulting in really short queues. The food here is pretty good as well. The ride lineup is solid. Most of the rides are a bit older, but some still manage to impress to this day like the iconic Speed Monster or the Spin Spider. Even Loopen and Super Splash are pretty good and not too rough for their age. Thundercoaster is a bit unfortunate, because it generally has a great layout, but it's become so rough that you can't really enjoy any of it. Now where the park really shines is in the back, with the new addition of the prototype Inverted Infinity Coaster Storm - The Dragon Legend. That ride packs a punch. It is on the shorter side but it is just so much fun. Overall I feel like there is still some untapped potential lingering in this park, but that doesn't mean that it's not worth a visit. You can spend an amazing day here at Tusenfryd!

Tusenfryd is a large amusement park located near Oslo, and it’s very easy to reach by bus from the main bus station in central Oslo. 🔹 Entrance fee: 550 NOK per adult. 🔹 Size & Attractions: The park is huge and offers a wide variety of fun rides. The entrance ticket includes access to all rides except for two. 🔹 Food & Drinks: There are several food spots inside the park, but prices are a bit high (for example, one slush costs 95 NOK). 📌 It was a great experience overall and definitely worth visiting for both kids and adults! ⭐️ Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5

We had a lovely day there. Almost no cues on a sunny Monday, all the rides were open and the selection was so great that the day just flew right by. We brought our own food and drinks and I would recommend so if you are on a budget. Lots of cozy places to sit and snack from your lunchbox before the next thrilling ride. Hint: Easy on the snacks before you ride the “Stormen” though. 😂 This one will really curl you up.

Too many extra games with extra money. Some of them come in the form of guaranteed-win games instead of selling inexpensive items at a slightly higher fixed price. When the water park closed, the price should be reduced. The safety bar of the boat game is not totally safe

Rainy day 5. August 2025, several (4-5 we came to try) of the larger rides where closed or being maintained, very disappointing day, seems that the rides where closed due to bad weather, but nothing serious about the weather besides a breeze and some drops of rain. The two stars are for a very friendly and polite staff. The park might compensate with day 2 tickets, but we will be leaving Norway by then.
Stefan M — Google review
Watching The Final Destination is thrilling because you know it’s fiction — until you visit Tusenfryd. This amusement park feels dangerously close to the plot: outdated, run-down, and in dire need of maintenance. We visited on July 30th, 2025, and shockingly, three roller coasters broke down during the day due to technical issues: 1. Thundercoaster – 12:36 PM: The ride broke down mid-run, leaving people stuck in the carts. 2. Western-Expressen – 12:45 PM: The ride was closed while mechanics repeatedly tested the carts, trying to fix ongoing issues. 3. SpeedMonster – 3:15 PM: The attraction suddenly broke down, and people were turned away from the queue. The attached photos show all three rides during their breakdowns. This level of malfunction is not normal. I’ve never seen so many failures in a single day at any theme park. It raises serious concerns about safety. I urge the park’s management to report these incidents to the local health and safety authorities before something truly serious happens. P.S. On a positive note, Storm was an incredible ride — fast, smooth, and a lot of fun!
