Over 100 Years of Communication

More than a hundred years ago, everything changed. Suddenly, it was possible to communicate lightning-fast with people far, far away. Back then, it happened with gigantic facilities and Morse code. Now, with smartphones and 5G. Then, it often involved declarations of love and death notices. Now, it’s largely about sharing reels and interacting with the whole world. Grimeton Radio Station, Varberg, is the last of these gigantic facilities, which is why the site was designated a World Heritage site in 2004. This is the best place in the world to experience and understand the development of wireless communication!

A place important for all humanity and the future. By caring for, using, and developing it together, we contribute to a better and kinder world.

Experience and explore

Technology, history, and nature in a unique overall experience. Step into the impressive transmitter hall and experience the place where Sweden once communicated with the world. Explore the exhibition that tells the story of the breakthrough of radio technology and the people behind it.

Visit Radiobyssjan for a playful, curious introduction to radio and communication—perfect for both young and old. Finish with a walk in the open landscape around the antennas, where history and nature go hand in hand.

Guided Tours

Our tours offer a lively, in-depth experience of the Grimeton Radio Station World Heritage Site. During the Day Shift, you’ll experience the site’s history, people, and technology as a whole. The Technical Shift takes you closer to the unique radio technology and how the facility worked in practice. At transmitter start-up, you’ll get to be part of something truly special—when the historic transmitter is brought to life.

Challenge and adventure

Here you get to step into the World Heritage Site’s history and become part of the story yourself. Through missions and challenges, you’ll interpret signals, solve problems, and make decisions where communication, logic, and teamwork play a crucial role. The experiences are based on real events and offer an engaging insight into the importance of radio technology—then and now.

The activities can be enjoyed together as a family, with friends, or in a group, and are suitable for anyone curious about history, technology, and shared challenges at the Grimeton Radio Station World Heritage Site.
