Audio Guide of Tullbron Bridge

Tullbron Bridge is a public thoroughfare open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can visit whenever you like. It is located right in the city center, crossing the Ätran River, and is easily accessible on foot from the main square or the bus station in Falkenberg.

No, crossing and visiting the bridge is completely free. Although its name literally translates as 'Toll Bridge' (Tullbron), toll collection was permanently abolished in 1914, leaving it as a monument open to everyone.

The visit is short; generally, 15 to 20 minutes are enough to cross it at a relaxed pace, admire the stone arches, and take photos of the Ätran River. It is a perfect stop to combine with a longer walk around the city.

Built between 1756 and 1761, it is one of the oldest and best-preserved stone bridges in Sweden. It is a national symbol that replaced earlier wooden bridges and played a key role in the commercial development of the region.

Sunset offers spectacular light on the stone and water, ideal for photographers. In summer, especially from June to August, it is the best time because you can watch fishermen catching salmon right beneath the arches.

Yes, the bridge can be used by wheelchairs and strollers, as it is a paved route. However, keep in mind that the surface may have slight irregularities typical of old structures, though it is fully functional.

Just across it, you will find the charming old town (Gamla Stan) with its wooden houses and St. Lawrence Church. You are also just a few steps from the famous Doktorspromenaden riverside promenade.

Wear comfortable shoes for walking around the area and take the opportunity to explore the riverside path after crossing the bridge. To truly understand what you are seeing, we recommend downloading an audio guide that reveals the secrets of its construction as you stroll.
