Unique accommodation at Varberg fortress

Welcome to an overnight stay in the historical environment at Varberg fortress. The cozy old fortress houses date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Find time to relax in the calm environment where you can look out over the sea horizon and listen to the sound of the waves. Just below the fortress is the mighty Kattegatt Sea with refreshing baths and a beautiful promenade. Varberg town center with shops and restaurants is just a short walk away from the fortress.

At Varberg fortress there is also a museum and a café. At Halland’s Cultural History Museum, the famous Bocksten man is displayed.

Cozy and familiar

Many of our guests appreciate the calm environment of the fortress and the familiar and cozy feeling it brings. A couple who recently visited us gave this review: “Welcoming, homely, comfortable beds and a fantastic breakfast! And the location is unbeatable“. The fortress is exciting to explore and we have many families with children who stay with us. The proximity to the beach and jetties as well as the city center with shops and restaurants is also much appreciated.

Cycling along the west coast

Are you planning for a cycling holiday in Sweden? Along the west coast you have the Kattegattleden, a 390 km of coastal cycling from Helsingborg to Gothenburg. Ride through seaside villages, nature reserves, hidden beeches and local food spots. Fästningens are a bike friendly accommodation located just along the bike trail. We have many guests cycling the Kattegattleden. With us you can relax in the historic environment of the fortress and you can go for a swim in the sea just below. You can also wash your bike, borrow bicycle tools and lock your bike in over night. Start the next day with a nice cup of coffee in the fortress garden.

Sustainable travel

At Fästningens we want to contribute to a sustainable tourism industry. We encourage our guests to choose sustainable transport methods such as train or bike. The train station in Varberg is only about 600 metres from the fortress and there are many train connections here, both north- and southbound. In Varberg you can rent a bike to easily experience more of the town and its surroundings.
