Attractions

Västra Götaland has an ancient cultural heritage ranging from rock carvings and stone settings, to old churches and cathedrals as well as castles and mansions. Visit some of the many interesting museums, or stroll through historical districts and buildings. See Göta Canal, waterlocks, steamferries, quaint Hjo and other towns, old monasteries etc. etc. The list is endless. If you like classic cars, particularly US muscle cars, you've come to the right place. Don't miss the spring and fall cruising when Tidaholm is invaded by hundreds of Detroit's finest.

This region is great for horselovers as there are horses virtually anywhere and lots of shows and competitions. The photos on the left are from the first horse streetrace held at the main street of Tidaholm. 600 tons of sand was spread on the main street for this occasion.
