Discover Partille: trails, culture and history

Partille combines trails in the town centre with cultural venues, history and an arena that can be adapted for different events. If you are looking for a hotel in Partille, the purpose of your stay can help you decide where to start: are you planning walks, would you like to explore culture and older architectural history, or is an event the focus? Partille is accessible by bus and commuter train.

Walking in the town centre

There are easily accessible trails along the Säveån in the centre of Partille. They run over gravel or asphalt and have no inclines. The surface and route offer specific points to consider if these features are important to you on a walk. The Bävern walking trail is also in the centre and is 800 metres long. The riverside trails are described in terms of their surface and incline, while Bävern is described by a specific distance. This lets you consider which details are most useful for planning your day.

A walk told as a story

Partille also offers the dramatised walk “Det är något mellan bergen” (“There’s something between the mountains”). You follow it on a mobile app as you walk. The format combines movement with a staged narrative, offering a different thematic approach to walking. If you are looking for a walk with a storytelling focus during your stay, this is a distinct option to include in your plans.

Culture, church and industrial history

In the town centre, Partille Kulturum extends for 200 metres along Gamla Kronvägen 56. It is the municipality’s cultural and educational centre. The construction of Partille kyrka is estimated to date from between 1150 and 1250. Nearby is Jonsereds brukssamhälle, one of Sweden’s best-preserved industrial environments from the second half of the 19th century. These sites offer different historical and cultural perspectives: Kulturum represents the cultural and educational role of the town centre, the church points to an estimated period of construction, and Jonsered to the industrial history of the 19th century.

Partille Arena

Along with its A-hall, Partille Arena has a smaller B-hall, a restaurant, a gym, a bowling facility and four meeting rooms. The arena can be adapted for different events. For concerts, the maximum capacity is 6,025 people; the capacity may change when the venue is reconfigured. This figure applies to concerts and should not be taken as a general capacity for every type of event. If an event is the reason for your trip, these details present the arena as a venue with various halls and facilities.

A nature trail in nearby Bokedalen

In nearby Bokedalen, a marked nature trail runs for four kilometres through varied landscapes. Features include broadleaf woodland, old coniferous forest, wooden boardwalks and cultural sights. Compared with the 800-metre Bävern walking trail, the Bokedalen trail is the longer option and is in the surrounding area rather than the centre of Partille. This makes it possible to compare two different trails by length and location: a short trail in the centre and a four-kilometre trail in nearby Bokedalen.
