How to get to Halmstad
Halmstad is located on the southwest coast of Sweden,

travel to the International
Airport of Copenhagen (Kastrup) in Denmark, from which you
can reach Halmstad by train in two hours.
From the nearby airports of Malmoe
(Sturup) and Gothenburg,
it is approximately one and a half hour to Halmstad by train.
