Around Sävedalen and the green slopes by the Säveån, smaller lodgings and self-catering rooms draw visitors who come for the river valley, the church, and the walking country that climbs into the ridges to the east.

About Partille
What is Partille known for?
Partille is a suburban city by Göteborg. It sits just east of the larger city along the Säveån river, joined to it by road and rail in one continuous urban area among the wooded ridges. Handball is the town's great passion.
Partillebohallen, the home arena of the much-decorated club IK Sävehof, draws crowds for the sport, while Partille kyrka and the green river valley give the place its older, quieter character beneath the busy suburban surface.
What are the main landmarks in Partille?
Partille kyrka stands above the river valley, the parish church that has long served the district and gives the town a clear, lasting landmark among the suburban streets. Partillebohallen, the handball arena, is the town's busiest gathering place, home to IK Sävehof. The Säveån valley draws walkers.
Sävedalens kyrka, Furulundskyrkan, Utby kyrka, and Öjersjökyrkan serve the parishes around the town, while Vallhamra ishall and Lemmingvallen host the local ice sports and the green ridges and trails of the eastern hills fill out what a visitor finds around Partille.
What is the history of Partille?
The valley was farmed long ago. Partille parish and its church served the country along the Säveån through the centuries when farms, mills, and woodland covered the slopes east of Göteborg, and a manor and its estate held much of the surrounding land. The river drove early works.
Mills and small industries rose along the rushing water, and a working community slowly gathered in the valley. The railway opened the modern age. When the line east from Göteborg was built, the valley gained quick links to the port city, and people came to live among the ridges while working in the larger centre nearby.
Suburban growth followed steadily. Partille spread out across the slopes and the river flats, became the seat of its own municipality, and grew into a busy suburban city within the Göteborg urban area, its sporting clubs and arena bringing it a fame that reached far beyond the valley.
Where is Partille?
Partille lies in the south-eastern part of Västra Götaland County, just east of Göteborg, where the Säveån runs down its valley between wooded ridges toward the city. The town fills the valley floor and climbs the green slopes around it, with the river at its heart and forested hills and small lakes rising to the east. The setting is hilly and green.
Roads, rails, and the motorway bind it westward to Göteborg and eastward to the lakes, forests, and villages of the wider district.
What is the climate of Partille?
Partille has a mild temperate climate, shaped by its place near the west coast. Winters are cool rather than harsh, with the maritime air off the nearby sea holding back the deep cold and heavy snow that grip the inland and northern parts of the country through the dark half of the year. Summers stay mild and green.
The warmest weeks fill the river valley and the forest trails with walkers from the city. Rain and grey skies are common across much of the year here.
How do you get to Partille?
Partille sits on the main railway east from Göteborg, with frequent commuter trains stopping at the central station. The motorway east from the city runs through the valley, carrying most drivers to the town. Buses link the suburbs and villages around.
The region's main airport lies a short way east, while Göteborg to the west serves as the larger gateway, its trains, motorway, and bus lines binding the town tightly to the city and the wider district.
