Welcome to Borås

Beautifully situated in the south west of Sweden, along the river Viskan, Borås offers a vibrant city pulse, world class art where ever you go and nature on your doorstep. And not to mention an award winning zoo. Viskan, which provided hydraulic energy for the textile industry, was once Borås commercial lifeblood. Today, it´s the heart of the city which connects the three central areas with its soothing flow. And on Sandwalls Plats, Borås very own piazza, you are surrounded by cafés, restaurants, street art, shops and our beautiful city park.
