Alingsås is a forgettable town. It's not ugly! And it has some nice places spots to enjoy your time, but it's not beautiful. However, the lake Mjörn is very nice, and there is a great disc golf course right at its shore. I recommend that!

The nature around Alingsås is wonderful, and I love playing disc golf at the city part that stretches all the way to the massive lake Mjörn. Once I hiked on Gotaleden (The Gota Trail) all the way from Gothenborg to Alingsås, and I can really recommend doing the same.

The town itself though is really not my cup of tea. I have been many times throughout the years and never felt like it is a place where I want to spend any more time than necessary. The main square in the downtown area seems to mainly be a place for young guys to enjoy each other's cars, and after eating at my favorite two places it becomes a challenge to get a decent meal.
