What to expect

Lysekil is a locality and the seat of Lysekil Municipality in Västra Götaland County, Sweden. It is situated on the south tip of the Stångenäs peninsula at the mouth of Gullmarn fjord and has two nature reserves. Originally a small fishing village, it developed into a town for fishing industries, commercial shipping, and trade during the 18th and 19th centuries. Stone industry based on the red Bohus granite from quarries in the town was also vital to Lysekil up until the 1950s. During the 19th century, Lysekil was established as a prominent spa and bathing resort, and tourism still makes up a large part of the town's economy. The town has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, visitors can enjoy the town's scenic coastline, nature reserves, and historic architecture, making it a great destination for families and those interested in history and the outdoors
