Cycling day trip from Varberg to Kungsbacka

Varberg to Kungsbacka Cycle Route

Pedal north along the beautiful Swedish west coast from seaside Varberg to lively Kungsbacka! This ~63 km ride is perfect if you’re after plenty of fresh sea air, open countryside, and those classic quiet West Coast roads. You’ll start in historic Varberg, known for its impressive fortress right by the water and a relaxed, coastal vibe—don't miss the pier and market square before you set out.

Your journey cruises through mostly quiet lanes and some inviting cycle paths—expect lovely views of coastal fields, small villages, and that endless Scandinavian sky. The route is pretty gentle, with a few rolling hills (just enough for a leg-stretch) and most of your ride on good, paved surfaces. There’s even a bit of adventure with about 2% unpaved/gravel thrown into the mix, but nothing too gnarly.

Finish in Kungsbacka, a charming town blending cozy cafes, riverside promenades, and a bustling market square. It’s a great place to unwind after your ride. This ride is all about scenery and smooth, steady pedaling—with the bonus of two great towns to bookend your adventure.
