Marstrand is a pretty village outside of Gothenburg. Most people, myself included, mainly think of Marstrand Island when hearing the name. The island has a nice old fortress, lots of old nice wooden houses, and a nice waterfront with busy boat life.

I like it better going in the off-season as it gets crowded and touristy during the summer, and I also prefer exploring the nature reserves rather than the village. I like the feeling of walking through a forest and arriving at the ocean.
