Train to Varberg

Experience Varberg during summer

Varberg is the coastal town that is close to everything and with a lovely mix of sea, culture, shopping and city life. In the summer months Varberg is something of a surf mecca and a place where people travel to experience the beautiful life around surfing, the sea and the coast. But Varberg has something exciting to offer the whole family the rest or the year aswell, such as Kallbadhuset, the beautiful promenade and shopping in Varberg's square.

We will not stop in Varberg during 2025
From 15 December 2024 and throughout 2025, we will not stop in Varberg due to track work on the Västra stambanan. Read more about how the track work affects us here.

So what is Varberg's story? Well, the city was actually called Getakärr when it was created. The marsh Getakärr was located about a kilometer north of where Varberg's Square is located today. The only building that still exists and testifies to this time is Getakärr's church ruins, which can still be visited. Varberg's history stretches back to the Middle Ages, when Halland was still Danish. Around the 19th century Varberg became a popular spa town- and it still is today.

Varberg is awesome to visit all year round but is perhaps a little extra exotic during the summer when the magical beaches and beautiful bathhouses tower up along the coast however, it is just as beautiful and relaxing in winter. You can't leave Varberg without at least having considered a lovely spa experience at one of Varberg's cosy spa facilities.

If you get hungry in Varberg, there will be no need for you to starve, Varberg has several restaurants listed in the White Guide where Öströö sheep farm, John's Place and Majas by the sea are just a few examples.

Varberg is in other words the perfect destination all year round which offers everything from culture and history to restaurants and spa experiences
