The first you notice when arriving to Alingsas are all the old huge chestnut trees and you already feel the atmosphere of a very charming old town. This beautiful and prosperous town is internationally known for the preservation of its interesting town centre where many of the wooden houses look just as they did 100 years ago. Apart from admiring the picturesque houses you can also take a guided tour. With a map and directions you can make the tour by your own if you prefer. There are numerous small and attractive shops selling all kind of art and craft of high quality to good prices.
