The History of Båstad - guided walk No 1
From the Middle Ages to present times
Join a guided tour taking you from small-scale Båstad of 1450 to today’s bustling tourist resort. Admire the cathedral-styled medieval church, find out more about long-lasting wars, devastating fires, resourceful merchants, gifted scientists and the intriguing history of tourism. Stroll in picturesque Agardhsgatan among a profusion of roses, hollyhocks and well-preserved 18th and 19th century houses. Get acquainted with stories about Alfred Nobel’s nephew Ludvig Nobel, textile artist Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Senator John F Kennedy visiting secret Swedish girlfriend, and divine actress Greta Garbo in her once-in-a-lifetime part as a dedicated caddie on Båstad’s golf-course.
