The best time to visit Trollhättan is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its best and the famous Waterfalls are released.
During this period, the days are long and bright, with comfortable temperatures great for outdoor activities. The average daily temperature in July is around 20°C (68°F), making it ideal for exploring the Göta Älv river and the surrounding natural areas. This is when Trollhättan truly comes alive with events and open-air experiences.
The highlight of the summer is the Trollhättan Waterfalls, which are usually released on specific days during July and August. This spectacular event sees massive volumes of water cascading down the falls, attracting many visitors. It's a truly impressive sight, and local boat tours often operate during these times, offering unique perspectives.
For couples, the summer offers romantic strolls along the riverbanks, picnics in the parks, and enjoying the relaxed evening atmosphere at outdoor cafes. Families will find plenty to do, from boat trips to exploring the Innovatum Science Center, with the warm weather making all activities more enjoyable.
If you prefer fewer crowds and don't mind slightly cooler weather, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) can also be pleasant. You'll still enjoy good weather, but some attractions might have reduced opening hours.
