A very interesting place to explore during a couple of hours is the ruin of Bohus Fortress. It is situated on the west coast of Sweden, just north of Göteborg. The construction of the fortress began in 1308 by the Norwegian king Haakon V Magnusson, to defend the southern borders of Noray. Until 1658 the river Göta älv was the border between Norway, Sweden and Denmark. After a peace treaty in Roskilde 1658 Bohus Fortress came under Swedish territory.
Entrance fee is 20 kr.
To go there from Göteborg: Take a bus north to Kungälv.
