Marstrand, Coastal urban settlement and car-free island in Kungälv Municipality, Sweden
Marstrand consists of two connected islands, Koön and Marstrandsön, positioned where the archipelago meets the open sea in western Sweden.
The construction of Carlstens Fortress began in the mid-1600s by prisoners, evolving over two centuries into a military stronghold on Marstrandsön island.
The waterfront features wooden buildings that house restaurants serving regional seafood dishes, including langoustine and traditional Toast Skagen.
Visitors reach Marstrand via a 50-minute journey from Gothenburg, followed by a ferry service that operates throughout the year to Marstrandsön.
Sweden's largest guest harbor resides in Marstrand, making it central to sailing competitions such as the GKSS Match Cup Sweden.
