A flight to Gothenburg takes you to Sweden’s lively, prosperous harbour city, founded in 1621. Catch a boat and discover the city’s diverse architecture from its 17th-century canals or enjoy Gothenburg’s most popular attraction, the fun rides at Liseberg Amusement Park.
Immerse yourself in Gothenburg’s cultural history at the City Museum and head to the Konstmuseet, Gothenburg’s prime art museum, where Carl Larsson and Edvard Munch await. The heart of maritime Gothenburg is best explored at the city’s Maritime Centre, a floating ship museum.
Find a city retreat among the blossoming flowers of Gothenburg’s extensive Botanical Garden and visit Sweden’s oldest zoo, the Slottskogen Nature Park, or take your picnic basket to Trädgårdsföreningen, Gothenburg’s lush canalside park.
Locals in Gothenburg love their traditional Smörgåsbord, a rich buffet of hot and cold dishes. Sample fresh herring, salmon and meatballs and don’t be afraid to try Knäckebröd, the traditional, pretty hard and dry, Swedish bread. |
