The Vanern lakefront at Mariestad provides a harbour for pleasure boats and a starting point for excursions on Sweden's largest lake. The Tidans delta, where the river meets the lake, is a wetland area important for birdlife. The Gota Canal's western section passes south of the city, and canal boats travelling between Gothenburg and Stockholm use Vanern as the central link.
The wooden buildings in the old town along Kyrkogatan survived a major fire in 1895 and represent one of the better-preserved historic town centres in Vastra Gotaland. Skoevde, about thirty minutes east, provides additional services. Accommodation is available in the town centre and near the lakefront.
