Strömstad is a town in Västra Götaland County, in western Sweden. The town is located close to the Norwegian border at the estuary of the small Strömstad River. Originally, the province Bohuslän, where Strömstad is situated, belonged to Norway until 1658, when Sweden took it through warfare. At Strömstad, there was a small fishing village known as Strömmen. The town got small privileges as a merchant town (köping) shortly thereafter, which seems to have made it expand, because it is documented to have gotten a charter in 1676 by King Charles IX of Sweden, yet some documents show it was considered a city in 1672. As it was the seat for a merchant navy, the coat of arms was designed with such a ship, and has remained that way even after the sailing ships navy were discontinued in the 19th century. The city became the seat for Sweden's warfare.
A small coastal town found in the south of Norway, Langesund is famous for its energetic vibe, particularly in the summer months when its full of life and colour. Fjord Line provide crossings out of the port to other coastal towns in Scandinavia, with the shortest sailing lasting around four hours and the longest sailing taking just less than a day. During summer the town has live music every evening, creating a cheerful, friendly vibe and providing endless entertainment. Langesund is a relatively small town, so all the major sights are within walking distance of each other; the trip to Tangen Fort is well worth a visit, especially during the summer months when visitors can easily access it by foot. As well as Tangen Fort, Bamble City Hall is one of the prominent sites in the area, and for those looking for something a bit different, Wrighthegaarden often has one of the top Norwegian artists performing there. The roads are unstable and fairly narrow, therefore it is difficult to navigate a car around the town centre. The uneven roads and close proximity of the major attractions mean that walking is the best option to get around, with the entirety of the city possible to cover in just under a day.
