Fjällbacka
The Jetty
In the middle of the harbor lies Bryggan – the hotel and restaurant that has become a natural gathering point by the water. Here you can sip rosé in the sun, eat seafood, and stay overnight with the sea right outside your door. In summer, the pier fills with life, boat guests, and holidaymakers – with a view of the same skerries that Ingrid Bergman loved.

Fjällbacka Fish Shop
Since the 1960s, Fjällbacka Fiskaffär has provided the local community with the best from the sea. Here you will find daily fresh fish, smoked delicacies, and pickled herring that truly taste of Bohuslän. Located just a stone's throw from the quay, it is an obvious part of life in Fjällbacka – both for those who live here and those who only wish they did.

Fjällbacka Church
Fjällbacka Church has stood on its cliff overlooking the village and the sea since 1892. Built from local red Bohus granite and designed by Adrian C. Peterson, it is a magnificent example of Neo-Gothic style. Today, the church is a tranquil landmark in the midst of the lively coastal community – a place for both reflection and views.

King's Gorge
Kungsklyftan (King's Gorge) is Fjällbacka's most dramatic spot – a narrow crevice between the cliff faces where scenes from Ronia the Robber's Daughter were filmed. The gorge leads up to Vetteberget and offers expansive views of the sea. The name comes from Oscar II, who is said to have visited the site during a hunt – but today it is nature lovers, families with children, and film fans who walk here.

Grand Hotel
Stora Hotellet has been an integral part of Fjällbacka's harbour since 1834. With its yellow facade, decorative fretwork, and proximity to the sea, it is a place where history resonates within the walls. Sea captains have stayed here and film stars have rested – and even today the hotel attracts visitors with its mix of charm, food, and sea breeze.

Seaweed
Where Fjällbacka's old grocery store once stood, you will now find Tång – a lifestyle store with a feel for design and quality. Here, Nordic design is mixed with hand-picked details from all over the world, always with sustainability and style in focus. Tång is both a store and an inspiration – a natural stop for those who want to find something personal and curated.

World Mackerel Angling Championship
Since 1992, Fjällbacka has hosted the World Championship in Mackerel Fishing – a summer tradition that has grown from 16 participants to hundreds. The competition has several classes, but the atmosphere is just as important as the catch. Here, pros and beginners meet with the same goal: to catch the biggest mackerel and enjoy the camaraderie by the sea.

Väderöarna
Väderöarna is located at the outer edge of the archipelago, just over 10 nautical miles from Fjällbacka. The island group is known for its cliffs, seals, storms, and tranquility. Once home to a pilot station and lighthouse keepers' residences, today it offers accommodation, a sauna, and fantastic food – a sanctuary for those seeking peace, adventure, or simply an unforgettable day at sea.

As one of the world's most beloved actresses, her connection to Fjällbacka is still strong and a source of pride for the village.
