Archipelago and culinary tour
With its colourful fishing villages, an archipelago of 10,000 islands and the Kosterhavet national marine park; the Bohuslän coastline, north of Gothenburg, must be seen to be believed. This 7-night itinerary is a wonderful introduction to this spectacular region and combines both the cityscape of Gothenburg – with its museums, boutique shops and delicious cafés and restaurants – with the natural beauty and tranquillity of the West Coast. Sunvil would recommend visiting the Pilane Sculpture Park and the Nordic Watercolour Museum on the island of Tjörn; the archipelagos of the Weather Islands and Koster Islands; the rural regions of Dalsland and Västergötland and the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Tanum.
