"Medieval Fortress Fun Take the bus to Kungälv and walk up to Bohus Fortress (Bohus Fästning), which has guarded the northern entrance to Gothenburg at the Nordre River since 1308. During the summer lots of medieval-style activities take place, like sword fighting, archery, and “knight school” for children. Don’t go back to Gothenburg until you have taken a walk along Västra gatan, a charming street with old wooden houses. Maybe stop for fika , too."

A very well preserved fortress with a lot of Nordic history. From the early Norwegian heritage via the Danish kings and the return to Swedish rule. There are activities for children, lots of historical information and even a nice park bear by (next to the entrance) with kiosk and a restaurant.

Friendly People, great food and the fort is great to wander around in. Unfortunately not everything is translated in English so you need a little extra time and help with google translate

This is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I am in Sweden. It really is such a great place. Their medieval times re-enactments are so Amazing...I loved their Medieval Times Festival (complete with Jousting tournaments) when I visited. Everything is as if you had gone back to a different time...even the food and drinks. Just perfect. Another day, I was lucky to see a Stefan Andersson concert here. I spent the whole day here. I love this place. I try to visit it as much as I can.

Is a good place to visit in the surroundings of Gothenburg. It is possible to get the ticket and explore inside but I was satisfied only with the exterior. The walk around the fortress takes 20 min and is worth it, the are sheep and snails. You can get there from Gothenburg with the bus X4.

Beautiful place to spend with family or friends, nice coffee shops and ice-cream around the place. If you appreciate history then don't hesitate to visit 🏰

Impressive ruins of the fort, good information plates and the best are all the games you can play with your kids. Beautiful view from the top.

After a quick visit to the Bohus Fästning (Fortress) our dog and us really needed a walk. And there's a nice little walk around the Fortress. You can either start south of the Fortress, just by the Bohusbron Bridge (there's a parking lot, 4 hours free) or north of the Fortress at the Ställplats - Husbil Camping and Parking lot (fees apply). The walk along the water and around the Fortress is quite short, but very nice. Sheep roam around free here, so please be respectful of their territory. Dogs are allowed though. There's a bunch of benches with nice views and some water access in case your furry friend needs a quick dip (ours did). If you are visiting the Fortress, be sure not to miss out on this little walk. There are hardly any visitors...
