Uddevalla in the Winter
By Kajsa-Stina
If you want to get out and breathe the
fresh air you should definitely take a
stroll along Strandpromenaden. Starting
out from Skalbankerna in eastern
Uddevalla, it continues along the
shoreline of Byfjorden and ends up at
Lindesnäs on the west side of town. The
promenade is a 9.3km long, cultural
walkway taking in much of Uddevalla’s
history, and in 2009, it received the
award “Sweden’s most beautiful path”.
If you visit Uddevalla in the winter, be
prepared for a lot of snow! During a
sunny winter day a nice activity might be
cross-country skiing, and Uddevalla offers
a lot of ski-tracks. At Herrestadsfjället
and Bredfjället there are ski-tracks of
varying length. Perhaps you would like to
warm yourself after that with a cup of
coffee or tea at one of Uddevalla’s many
cafés.
If you rather like to spend your time
shopping, that is not a problem! A few
kilometers outside Uddevalla lies Torp
which is a shopping mall containing about
80 stores. At Torp you will find everything
to make your shopping round complete,
and if you get hungry why not eat a tasty
burger at McDonalds or try a sandwich at
Subway. A few months ago, a new IKEA
store opened right across the street! Why
not visit it as well?
