Nestled along the south west coast of Sweden, the small town of Varberg has a direct connection with Denmark via ferry. Should you be hiring a car in Varberg, you can take a ferry across to explore the rest of Sweden. The town of Varberg itself has a vast history, which you can explore through the Varberg fortress. It dates back to the late 12s, with new additions being built on through the years. You can take a tour of the museum inside, or even stay the night at the bed and breakfast. There is a tale of a lake monster in the moat surrounding the fortress, so keep an eye out to see if you can help confirm its existence.
Being based on the coast, there are of course beaches available to relax on through the day. However, given Sweden's northern placing, summer temperatures rarely exceed the low twenties. The summer does however bring tourists from around Sweden and internationally into the town. Through July, concerts are held on the outdoor stage, all free and with a variation of music on offer. If you're hiring a car in Varberg, you're just under an hour's drive from Gothenburg which is one of the bigger cities in Sweden. Experience some more of the country's culture and some impressive architecture in the area.
