Where can you stay or park your motorhome?
There are of course many different places where you can stay in Strömstad. We stayed several nights with our motorhome at First Camp City - Strömstad, which had a good price during the low season. Parking spaces without electricity are available at the Bojar car park. At the moment you can also park your motorhome for free, without service, on Trädgårdsgatan.

Here we are totally over even about which mural was the best - WOW I just say. Imagine being a street artist and being able to create such amazing works of art. It must be so much harder than painting on paper or canvas...?
