Activities in and around Strömstad
Strömstad is a true gem on the Swedish west coast. The city, pulsating with life and charm all year round, was granted its city rights in 1676 by Karl XI and is often referred to as Sweden's westernmost outpost. Here, history meets modern coastal living among alleys and piers. The city also offers the best shopping on the west coast.
On this page, we have gathered some tips and suggestions for those who want to take a trip from Daftö Resort.
