Along the mighty Kattegat in the west stretches the national cycle route Kattegattleden, running from Helsingborg in the south all the way up to Gothenburg in the north. This bike tour package starts in Helsingborg, and the atmosphere is set early on as you pass the magnificent Sofiero Castle surrounded by lush rhododendron bushes in the castle park. Cycling along the well-organized route is a delight for the eyes.
Along the sun-kissed coast of Halland, you'll have the opportunity to visit charming summer towns such as Halmstad, Båstad, Falkenberg, and Varberg. Enjoy delicious meals, fantastic cycling, and a generous dose of culture and history throughout the journey. If you wish to buy something tasty, you'll find several farm shops along the way.
During your cycling adventure, you’ll stay at carefully selected accommodations, each with its own unique personality and style. High-quality accommodations are especially important when you’re cycling long distances every day. Among the selected accommodations are Pensionat Enehall in Båstad and Clarion Collection Hotell The Frigate in Varberg. This cycling package covers the entire Kattegattleden route, where you’ll cycle between 40 and 60 km per day. If needed, you can easily add or remove days and adjust the distances to suit your preferences. When the adventure is over, you can easily take the train back to Helsingborg or to your hometown. Bicycles can be brought aboard the Öresund Train, space permitting. If you’re coming by car, there is two long-term parking lots in Helsingborg, Sockerbruksgatan and Sundstorgsgaraget.

Guide and transfers
Day 1 - Helsingborg-Ängelholm
Valhall Park Hotell, Ängelholm
62 km
Welcome to Helsingborg! Experience the city's charm and visit the unique core with the only remaining building from the medieval Helsingborg Castle. Enjoy a walk along the sea or visit Dunkers Cultural Centre. Take a trip to Denmark, just 20 minutes away by boat to Helsingør. There, you can visit Kronborg Castle, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. It was here that William Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet took place.
Cycle north and visit Sofiero Castle and its gardens, featuring more than 10,000 rhododendron bushes that bloom between May and June. Other gems along the way include the picturesque fishing villages of Domsten and Viken. Experience the magnificent landscape of the dramatic Kullahalvön Peninsula. The Rönne River winds its way through the 500-year-old town of Ängelholm. Experience it up close on the Laxen sightseeing boat. You can also go kayaking or fishing here. Overnight accommodations are available at Valhall Park Hotell in Ängelholm.
Day 2 - Ängelholm-Båstad
Pensionat Enehall, Båstad
Breakfast
57 km
After a delicious breakfast, it's time to continue the bike tour towards Båstad. You will experience many sights along the way. This part of the Kattegattleden is slightly more hilly, so take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful views of the sea!
You’ll cycle through small villages and fishing hamlets, passing Skepparkroken, Vejbystrand, and picturesque Torekov, where you can buy fish at the harbor. The journey then continues toward the fertile Bjäre Peninsula with its small-scale farms. At Norrviken’s gardens, you’ll see the sea again. The day ends in Båstad, a beautiful little town known, among other things, for hosting the Swedish Open tennis tournament. Overnight stay at Pensionat Enehall.
Day 3 - Båstad-Halmstad
Elite Hotel Mårtenson, Halmstad
Breakfast
41 km
After breakfast, you head towards the day's destination, Halmstad, a picturesque miniature metropolis bustling with life. You cycle along the long sandy beach of Laholm Bay and can stop for lunch or a snack in Skummeslövsstrand. A short distance from the Kattegattleden lies the beautiful Skottorp Castle and the cozy Laholm, the oldest city in Halland. Next, you arrive at Mellbystrand, a classic seaside resort with a 12-kilometer-long sandy beach.
On your way to Halmstad, you can take a detour to the Påarp burial ground, Halland’s largest burial ground with about 200 burial mounds and 50 stone settings from the Early Iron Age. Don’t miss a visit to Halmstad Castle, dating from the 17th century, which was built during the period when Halmstad and Halland were under Danish rule. The castle has a beautiful park, and you can take a guided tour. Overnight accommodations are available at Elite Hotel Mårtenson in Halmstad.
Day 4 - Halmstad-Falkenberg
Hotell Hamngatan 27, Falkenberg
Breakfast
57 km
The day starts with breakfast at the hotel, and then you cycle west towards Tylösand, Frösakull, Ringenäs and Vilshärad. At the windmill in Särdal there is a cozy café and a farm shop that is worth a stop. After that, you then cycle on towards Ugglarp. Here we recommend making a detour to Svedino's Car & Air Museum, which has an impressive collection of about 100 old cars and 40 airplanes.
From there, you’ll cycle inland through rolling farmland. Be sure to stop at the Smörkull lookout point and the Grimsholmen Nature Reserve before you reach the medieval town of Falkenberg and the popular Skrea Beach with its long swimming pier. Don’t miss the beautiful Tullbron, where you can try your hand at crab fishing out among the rocks. The RIAN Design Museum and Lilla Napoli, a small pizzeria with big ambitions, are just a few of the highlights of a visit to the town. Overnight stay at Hotell Hamngatan 27 in Falkenberg, housed in an old Q-listed maritime warehouse.
Day 5 - Falkenberg-Varberg
Clarion Collection Hotel Fregatten, Varberg
Breakfast
40 km
The day starts with a lovely breakfast at the hotel. Today, you will cycle towards Varberg, through open landscapes with untouched nature and past popular beaches like Olofsbo, Björkäng, and Apelviken. There is a good selection if you want to grab an ice cream or eat a meal. If you prefer less well-known swimming spots, we recommend Stafsinge beach or Petters brygga.
Along the way, there is a rich bird life, several nature reserves, and picturesque fishing villages like Lövstaviken, Glommen, and Träslövsläge. You can stop at charming small farm shops and visit artisan craftsmen. Apelviken is a well-known paradise for windsurfers.
You’ll continue biking toward Varberg Harbor, with its public bathhouse and park. Here, you can see Varberg Fortress towering above you. If you still have energy left, you can bike all the way up and enjoy the spectacular view. Tonight’s lodging is at Clarion Collection Hotel Fregatten in Varberg.
Day 6 - Varberg-Frillesås
Pensionat Frillesberg, Frillesås
Breakfast
45 km
After breakfast, you continue north towards today's destination, which is Frillesås in Halland. North of Varberg, you will notice the landscape changing. The sandy beaches become fewer, and instead, the majestic cliffs typical of the Bohuslän coast spread out.
You’ll continue biking through small communities and urban areas. As you pass through Frillesås, you’ll share the road with cars, so you’ll need to exercise normal caution. In the fishing village of Bua Harbor, you can sample the delicacies of the sea. You’ll spend the night at Pensionat Frillesberg in Frillesås, an authentic guesthouse dating from 1938 with a restaurant, outdoor seating, and a cozy pub in the basement.
Day 7 - Frillesås-Gottskär
Gottskär Hotell, Gottskär
Breakfast
45 km
After a good night's sleep and breakfast, you continue cycling towards Gottskär and Kungsbacka Fjord. You cycle out of Frillesås and continue on an old railway embankment along the coast. Feel free to stop at one of the sea baths in Åsa and cool off with an ice cream at the café.
We recommend a detour to Tjolöholm Castle, the premier Arts and Crafts facility in the Nordic countries and Sweden's only castle in the Tudor style. Stop at Rolfsbron in Hanhals, a beautiful stone arch bridge from the 17th century. Accommodation takes place at Gottskär Hotel, with a view of the sea.
Day 8 - Gottskär-Gothenburg
Breakfast
50 km
Today, you cycle towards your final destination, which is Drottningtorget in Gothenburg. On today's stage, you pass cliffs, lush forests, bays, and small boat harbors. There are also plenty of swimming spots along the way.
In Gothenburg, you can visit the Gothenburg Museum of Art, enjoy high-quality fish and seafood dishes at the Stora Saluhallen, take a boat tour with Paddan, or try out rides and attractions at Liseberg amusement park. Or you may simply choose to take a leisurely walk through the city and enjoy the culinary experiences among Gothenburg's rich offerings.

We would have liked the option to choose alternative accommodations, such as a bed and breakfast. We felt that the bike storage in Varberg was inconvenient, since we had to carry the bikes down to the basement ourselves. We also missed having a refrigerator and the option to prepare snacks in our room in Varberg.

We cycled from Helsingborg to Gothenburg in 8 days—a very nice route along the coast. The local tour operator did a good job booking our accommodations and provided us with excellent support throughout the trip. The rooms are rather small, but adequate for one night.

Thank you for these amazing cycling vacations along the Kattegatleden! We really enjoyed the scenery, the well-marked bike path—which was mostly easy to ride but had a few challenging climbs—as well as the organization and support throughout our tour.

I’m very pleased with the local organizer, who arranged our cycling trip excellently, professionally, and with great service. The Kattegattleden trail is well-marked and winds nicely through the countryside. The tips included in the materials were helpful. Among other things, we made detours to Morups Tånge and Bräcke Naturum—highly recommended. The brochure and map were great; it’s nice to have printed materials.
