Åhus is a charming, idyllic place with half-timbered houses along narrow, winding streets and one of Sweden's most beautiful old squares that goes back to the Middle Ages. Then Åhus was the seat of an archbishop, a fortified town with lively commerce and shipping.

Today, Åhus is most famous as the home of Absolut Vodka and for its miles of sandy beaches that stretch all the way along the Baltic coast. Åhus is a summer paradise for many and the population trebles every summer. An idyllic spot to return to – year after year. Just visit the town and you will find out why.

Strolling along the narrow, cobbled streets with houses from the 18th century is a history lesson in itself. Walking around the harbour, where you find everything from large freighters to small sailing boats tied up, is pure pleasure. Various activities are organised during the summer along the quays and the harbour virtually becomes the centre of Åhus. A walk around the harbour can end with a good dinner at the local inn, Åhus Gästgivaregård, which is located like a pearl by the old bridge.

For those with a passion for golf there is Sweden's fifth oldest golf course with 27 challenging holes. There are a further 20 golf courses within 50 km. Amazing!
