Smögenbryggan — Attraction in Sotenäs kommun

Smøgen is famous for its beautiful wooden houses from the 1600-1700s. Here you will find the tranquility of rorbuer, narrow alleys and streets with galleries and studios at every corner. Add legendary "Smøgenbrygga" with shops, bars and restaurants, and you know this is the place to charge the batteries.

I guess there are 3-4 view points and you can spend full day here very easily. Restaurants are expensive. Buses are not frequent...

Beautiful place, worth to visit definitely. I would prefer "winter" season (September/October) and during working days so the place won't be overcrowded.
