A warm welcome to the big little town of Sölvesborg

– one of southern Sweden's most vibrant and charming places.

Sölvesborg is one of southern Sweden's most charming destinations, where the coast, beech forests and small towns meet. Experience Hanö's unique nature and magical Bönsäcken, Listerland's idyllic fishing villages and salty beach environments, and northern Sölveborg's forests and tranquillity. Hike in landscapes where tranquillity meets the fresh coastal winds and enjoy seasonal food made from locally sourced ingredients. Get closer to beech forests, beaches and authentic farm shops – all year round. Sölvesborg is a place to return to, again and again.

Events in Sölvesborg

Every year, our coastline is filled with energy when the Sweden Rock Festival welcomes tens of thousands of visitors, and on the other side of the peninsula, the whole of Listerlandet vibrates with pride when Mjällby AIF plays Allsvenskan football at Strandvallen.

There is always something happening in Sölvesborg throughout the year. Hällevik jazzfestival, markets, culinary experiences, concerts, and local events fill the alleys of our medieval town centre. Everything is close by and welcoming. Perhaps this is why so many say that Sölvesborg feels larger than it is – here, we make the impossible possible, time and time again.

So come for the festivals, football and sea – but stay for the whole experience. For the surprising nature experiences, for the undiscovered gems just waiting to be yours, and for the warmth that makes you long to return.
