24 Halmstad The city with three hearts The county town of Halmstad, which was granted its town charter in 1307, is Halland’s largest city, with 100,000 inhabitants. Halmstad is known as one of Sweden’s best summer cities and offers many events and vibrant street life. The Kattegattleden passes through central Halmstad and crosses the River Nissan, right next to Halmstad Castle. The county governor lives in the castle, which dates from the 1600s. It’s not open to the public, but take the chance to rest your legs and look around the courtyard. Stora Torg square is on the other side of the street, a perfect starting point for shopping and dining at a restaurant. You can easily get around Halmstad on your bike. In several places in the municipality there are cycle pumps, where you can quickly and easily pump up your tyres at no charge.
