Vänersborg is a city of about 40 000 persons situated on the southernmost shore of Lake Vänern. Together with Trollhättan the area is known as "Tvåstad" ("Two Cities").
The city centre has maintained the atmosphere of a small town by embracing the old houses. This is something that is not so common in Sweden.
Vänersborg was also the home of the poet Birger Sjöberg who coined the name "Little Paris" for the city.
Before the creation of the "West Götaland Region" Vänersborg was the administrative hub for Älvsborg county.
