Sightseeing - Tourism
Stigen Runt Ön (The Path Around the Island)
We highly recommend to walk around the island, there are beautiful wandering paths with stunning views. You may come across caves and groves from boulders from the ice age. There are plaques with historical facts along the way.
The main path may take up to an hour, or if you would like to take your time and absorb all the views and see as much as possible plan on the walk taking up to an hour and a half or two hours if you will be wandering through the multiples paths.
During your spare time we encourage you to simply explore the island, walk the beautiful cobble stone streets and see the beautiful wooden houses in their different colors and architecture. You will see beautiful spring flowers that have begun to bloom- meaning the green warm summer is on the way.
There are multiple paths on the island in the woods, please view the maps located at the beginning of the hiking path to plan your route.
Carlstens Fästning
A MUST! The fortess is open on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, 11am - 3pm. We highly recommend going Saturday morning when they open or on Sunday after you have checked out from your hotel. Be sure to call beforehand if you would like to inquire about a tour in English.
Spa and Gym
Marstrands Havshotell
Marstrand Havshotell has a gym and spa that is available for their guests, as well as those that will not stay there! You can book a time-slot at the spa- which has saunas and well as outdoor warm water baths with views of Marstrand island. This is a great suggestion for our guests that would like to spa during their stay, for those that are arriving a day or two before the wedding celebrations, or perhaps the morning of the wedding day! Those that are leaving on Monday, this is the only hotel and restaurant that is open Sunday night, so please book as soon as possible if you are staying after Sunday.
