Hallstavik, Industrial town in Norrtälje Municipality, Sweden
Hallstavik is an industrial town in Norrtälje Municipality located along the Uppland coast. It developed around a harbor and paper mill, with rail freight connections and a central bus station serving regional transport links.
The town formed from a merger of two rural districts, Häverö and Edebo, in the early 1900s. The establishment of the paper mill transformed it into an industrial center and became the foundation of its economy.

The deep harbor accommodates large vessels with well-developed infrastructure. Visitors can easily explore the area using local buses and regional transport, which connect the town to nearby destinations.
