Lysekil, a coastal city in Vastra Gotaland County in Sweden, is located at the entrance to the Gullmarn Fjord (Gullmarsfjorden). It’s a conservation area, popular as a seaside resort since the mid-80s, and its economy has flourished since 1750, due to herring fishing. Its main exports are salted herring, train oil derived from boiled herring, and the world’s best-tasting Kalles Kaviar.
Its well-preserved coastline has made Lysekil a favorite summer destination for locals and tourists. Observe the underwater sealife from the Oceanhouse dock. Enjoy a stroll through the Old Town, with its homes that date back to the 1950s houses, or at Stångehuvud, a nature reserve. Nordic Ark, just 30 minutes away, is a conservation park for endangered species.
