The exact price escapes me, but it was somewhere around thirty to forty kronor. Once on board, the journey felt like it lasted only a minute 😂—I barely had time to get comfortable in my seat before we arrived.

I visited on a Sunday, and most of the shops, as well as the castle, were closed. So, I found myself perched on a hillside, taking in the picturesque view of white houses with red roofs and the deep blue sea stretching out beyond. Thanks to the automatic mode on my Olympus camera, I was able to capture the essence of Marstrand, preserving my best impressions of the place.
