St. Nicholas Church is sometimes referred to as the Cathedral of Halland, although a cathedral traditionally should have two church towers. The church has had two predecessor buildings.

It is not perhaps the most beautiful path, it is the most beautiful hiking trail.

At the northern entrance to Halmstad is the so-called Karl XI Hut. It was there that the king had to take shelter on his way to Halmstad Castle one night when, according to the rules in force, the gate was not opened after the closure. Norre Port, one of Sweden's few surviving city gates, underwent a renovation in 2005. In June 2007, Norre Port was declared a monument.

Stora torg is the market place and at the same time the heart of the center of Halmstad. Planning for the reconstruction of the square is currently underway. The aim is to create an attractive meeting place for residents and visitors. The space is expected to be ready by the end of 2026.
