Hire car Kristianstad tips, experiences & comparison

Discover Kristianstad by Hire Car

The city of Kristianstad is located in the extreme southeast of Sweden in the middle of the province of Skåne.

Kristianstad was founded as early as 1614 by the then Danish King Christian IV.

The foundation became possible because Gustav II Adolf had burned down the town of Vä, which had previously been on the same site, during the war.

In modern times Kristianstad is one of the most frequented “gateways” for a visit to the Kingdom of Sweden. Many ferries from Germany bring tourists directly to Kristianstad from where it is easy to get around with a hire car.
