Gothenburg

Discover the cool, creative heartbeat of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city and Scandinavia’s friendliest port, where the historic Haga district charms with cobblestone lanes lined with 19th-century wooden houses, cozy cafés serving legendary cinnamon buns (kanelbullar), and the iconic Haga Church overlooking the city, while the massive Universeum science centre and adjacent Liseberg amusement park—one of Europe’s best—offer thrilling rides, interactive exhibits, and the iconic Helix roller coaster with views over the city skyline. Cruise the historic Göta Älv river past the iconic Feskekôrka (Fish Church) market hall bursting with fresh seafood, explore the cutting-edge Maritiman floating maritime museum with 20 vessels including a submarine and destroyer, or relax in the lush Slottsskogen park with its free zoo, moose, seals, and summer outdoor concerts—all in a walkable, welcoming city that perfectly blends maritime heritage, innovative design, and the warm, laid-back spirit of Västra Götaland.

Savor fresh West Coast shrimp, creamy fish soup, classic Swedish meatballs with lingonberries, and crisp local IPAs amid lively harbourside terraces, canal reflections, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both historic and delightfully modern.
