Halmstad, Urban area in Halland County, Sweden
Halmstad sits at the mouth of Nissan River along the western Swedish coast, functioning as both a port city and administrative center of Halland County.
Initially under Danish control, Halmstad received its first city charter in 1307 and transferred to Swedish jurisdiction through the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645.
The central square features Carl Milles's Europa and the Bull fountain, while Hallandsgården museum displays traditional peasant cottages within Galgberget natural forest.
The city connects to major Swedish destinations through its central railway station on the West Coast Line and national roads 25 and 26.
Tylösand beach area combines maritime activities with multiple golf courses, making Halmstad a destination for both water sports and golf enthusiasts.
