January 11, 2025, Mariestad guest harbor

Very nice hospitality with many small eateries and cafés. Cozy and beautiful view of Vänern, many seating areas around the harbor. Opposite is the Ekkuden nature reserve.

The old town of Mariestad (gamla stan) offers old Swedish craft tradition with its ultra-cultural small buildings. The old town of Mariestad is one of the best-preserved old towns in the country. Many small enamel signs on the houses provide information about their history and former and current use (descriptions only in Swedish).

This idyllic Vandrarhem (hostel) and café is located in an old craftsmen's courtyard from the 17th century. Previously used as a tannery, these buildings are now centrally located in the gamla stan Mariestad (old town).

The Göta Canal is definitely worth a trip. Right next to the canal is the wonderful cycle path, which is mainly paved with dolomite sand. Many pretty lock cafes invite you to linger.
