If you are looking for a pleasant few hours taking in some new impressions and checking out what's new, you'll find shops to your liking in both Uddevalla and Ljungskile. In Ljungskile, there is also a factory outlet for world renowned Resteröds Trikå's knitwear products. The first Monday of the month sees market day at Kungstorget, the town square in Uddevalla. There is also a market for local produce once a month. If you are a flea-market browser then you should make your way to Pingstkyrkans Saturday market. If interior decorating is your thing, you will be fascinated by our small, charming country shops such as Två fröknar at Lansund and Kärrstegens gård to the east of Ljungskile.
Torp shopping centre, one of Sweden's largest, with its 80 or more shops, lies just to the north of Uddevalla on the E6. Whatever you're out after, you'll find it here.
There are also some smaller, more specialised, shopping centres on the outskirts of Uddevalla. Herrestads and Källdals shopping centres focus on the home and on leisure time activities. If you need something for your car, Fröland is the place for you, with its spare parts and accessories shops as well as workshops connected to several popular makes. The do-it-yourselfers are in their element at Kuröd. There is no shortage of inspiration here for those with household projects in mind.
