Kungsbacka is located on the Swedish west coast just south of Gothenburg. Old wooden houses characterise the city centre and offer a picturesque and charming atmosphere with cafes, restaurants and shops. The Kungsbacka River meanders through the city and into the Kungsbacka Fjord. Here, you will find Tjolöholm castle, Sweden’s leading Arts and Crafts property. In the city centre, new districts are emerging -one of them is the new sport centre. We are making room for the athletes and elite investments of the future.
Kungsbacka is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Sweden with more than 1,000 new residents each year. There are many reasons why Kungsbacka is an attractive place to live. Being able to enjoy the miles of coastline, fields and forests while having easy access to the big city is one. The high quality of public services such as childcare, schools and public transport is another. This may be the reason why Super Mario chose to move to Kungsbacka – The Nordic countries’ distribution headquarters for Nintendo products is based in the city – but nobody knows for certain. From his outlook on top of a warp pipe he has been keeping an eye on the comings and goings on the motorway since the 1990s.
