Exploring Åmål, Sweden 🇸🇪 at Ljusfest was pure magic—think shimmering candlelit streets, fire shows, and sunsets over the river that will blow up your photo roll! 🌅 All the shops and cafés stay open into the night, so you can wander, snack, and shop second hand till late without ever feeling rushed.

Here's what not to miss:

Must-See Places ✨
Åmåls bibliotek (Kungsgatan 20): Pop in before dusk (check those opening hours—Monday 12-18, Tue/Thu/Fri 10-16, Sat 10-13) for local book vibes and a place to recharge. Super friendly staff!
Plantaget (Kyrkogatan 14): This lush riverside park is open 24/7—perfect for a golden-hour stroll, sunset snaps, and catching outdoor concerts during the festival. It's packed with food trucks so grab authentic Swedish bites.
Mellanbrons B&B (Mellanbrogatan): Stay central and super cozy! The bridge views are next level, and walking everywhere from here is a breeze.

Festival Insider Tips:
- Don’t miss the fire show—it gets the whole town buzzing.
- Night second hand market is a hidden gem: vintage goodies + local music.
- Åmål is so walkable! Leave the car—roam on foot and just soak it in.
- Bring some cash for market stands (card works most places, but not everywhere).
- Sunset by Plantaget is a must—find your spot early!

Getting Around:
Åmål’s center is compact, so walking’s best. For longer trips, regional buses are easy to use (buy tickets online at trip.com). Weather in fall is cool but clear—layer up!
