Uddevalla Attractions

 
Uddevalla (pop. 47,000), a busy industrial town with large shipyards, lies near the outflow of the Bäveå into the Byfjord. The beaches of Uddevalla are overflowing with seashells, it is considered one of the largest shellbanks in the world.

In Kungstorg can be seen an equestrian statue of Charles X Gustavus (1908), and to the east of this an early 19th century church, with a belfry of 1751 on higher ground beside it. The Bohuslän Museum has interesting displays of material on the history, natural history and landscape of the province, together with an art collection. To the south of the town is Gustavsberg, one of the oldest seaside resorts in Sweden (18th c.).

From Uddevalla Road 44 runs east to Lake Vänern. 2.5km/1,5mi along this road, at Bräcke, are the Skalgrusbänkar, banks of gravel deposited by the sea.
