Halmstad is one of Sweden’s most popular summer destinations. In recent years, Halmstad has gained international attention as host of large sports events – particularly the LIEBHERR World Team Table Tennis Championship 2018.
LIEBHERR World Team Table Tennis Championships in Halmstad, Sweden, concluded with double Chinese gold medals, a historic medal for Unified Korea and a surprising bronze medal for Sweden. In total Halmstad Arena had 25 000 spectators and more than 300 million followed the championships on TV.
The cycle route Kattegattleden, which runs along Halmstad’s beautiful coastline, has won the prestigious award “Cycle Route of the Year 2018” at the European cycle- and hiking fair “Fiets en Wandelbeurs”.
