When to go
The best time to visit Borås

Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Borås: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT), about 40 km from the city centre in a straight line; Jönköping Airport (JKG, 67 km) and Trollhättan-Vänersborg Airport (THN, 76 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
There's no airport in Borås; the nearest international airport is Gothenburg's Landvetter. It is about 60 km away and has daily flight from most European air hubs. Commuter trains from Gothenburg run about once every hour, however due to old tracks they are slower than the bus. The Kust-till-Kust (Coast-to-Coast) trains between Gothenburg and Kalmar also make a stop-over there. Then there are regional trains from Varberg and from Uddevalla via Herrljunga. From time to time there have been direct X2000 fast trains from Stockholm, but a change of trains in Herrljunga is now required.
Getting around
Buses are operated by Västtrafik and cover the whole city and its suburbs. However, the centre city is small enough to walk around.
