Travel

Flying to Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is generally preferred compared to Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT). There are more good connections to CPH than GOT in our experience. Last mile is also easier.

After arriving in CPH: Get on the train headed for Göteborg (Gothenburg) and travel for a few hours, watch the swedish country-side. Then step off in Varberg. You will be in the middle of town, walking distance to.. everything.

If arriving at GOT: Flight bus should be an option, taxi is a bit pricey but also viable. Get into Gothenburg city center and find Öresundståg to Varberg. No need to book Öresundståg ahead of time — just hop on and buy a ticket.

Travelling from Stockholm? Typically there are good options with either SJ.se or vrresa.se to get you from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Öresundståg the last leg to Varberg.

Parking

There is good parking available near the venue here or here. Both are free assuming you have a parking time indicator you can put in the window. There are many other affordable spots as well. The city center is very walkable and there are a fair number of parking garages.

Venue
