arriving on cruiseship early morning in Goteborg. would like to arrange a day tour, possibly for small group for 8-12 fellow passengers, to Marstrand. can anyone recommend a local agent who can do this? pick-up at port around 8-9am, return to ship by 4pm, to include a boat or ferry ride around archipelago, some time to spend on land to see some of Marstrand and Goteborg. Please include price per person.
OR may be just 2-4 of us to go via taxi to get to Marstrand, spend some time there with stop in Goteborg on return, then back to ship. do most of touring and walking around on our own. How much would taxi fare be round-trip, Goteborg-Marstrand?
other suggestions on how to spend the day are welcome.
Thank you.
Hi - a good place to check is www.cruisecritic.com - go to boards, then ports of call. You should be able to find the info/recommendations there. You can also post your question there, just sign up first (same as on VT). Have a great cruise!!
Hello Donna - thank you for your reply. Yes, I've been on cc.com. but I'm still looking for a local contact in Goteborg to meet small group at dock and take us to 1)ferry dock to get to Marstrand or 2)small van to take small group. We'd like to spend a couple hours there and also see old part of Goteborg. So anyone reading this post who can advise and/or direct me, please reply. I anxiously await your response.
Thank you.
I would rent a van or two cars and drive there myself. The drive takes less than one hour.
Even better as you would have nothing to organise: There are public buses (via Kungälv; Västtrafik, lines 302 and 312) from central Göteborg, about every hour from mid June to mid August. And in the end you have to take the passenger ferry to Marstrand anyway.
I think there is even a boat connection between Göteborg and Marstrand in summer (July until mid August daily, May, June, mid August to Sept. only on Sunday mornings).
Best you contact Göteborg's tourist office and ask for details, so everything is organised before arrival.

Just the info. I needed - thank you!
This tip isn't exclusive for Gothenburg, it's for several parts of Sweden. One of the main sources of energy are wind farms. This one is south of Gothenburg on the road to Halmstad but you will find them all over the place as you travel around Sweden
Slottskogen (The Castle Forest) is the biggest green park of Goteborg's many parks. It is a nice place for all sorts of recreations. For example the park includes a frisbee golf course, a pool with seals and the Natural History Museum, just to mention a few of its possibilities. Most people come here to take a relaxing stroll along the green lawns and many little lakes. My accomodation was located just at the northern border of the Park, so every morning I could enjoy the view over the park.
Directions:
Slottskogen is situated southwest of the city centre. The best tram stop is "Linneplatsen" (trams 1, 6), but there are some other tram stops all around the park.
The place for buing alcohol is called "Systembolaget". In Sweden buing alcohol is not just a matter of walking in to the shop and picking up what you want. Here in Sweden you have ton choose what you want from a catalogue or looking at the bottles on the shelfs behind locked glasses... Then you go and get a Q-number and when it´s your turn you walk up to the counter (like in the pharmacist or something) and ask for what you want. Then the man/woman gets the bottles for you from behind the counter. ID is always asked for.
The best type of bag is the one you like the most!
But i recommend you to take a back pack. Skip the italian leather shoes.
Take shoes that stands both sun and rain
Bring a Gore Tex jacket with you. Don´t think to much about this.
Remeber you CAN drink the water in the bathroom. So water on a bottle is a little expensive in sweden. No problems! Camping. You can stop and camp almost every where in sweden. You dont have to camp at a camping, but you better read this:

This place in Ramberget, Hisingren area is indeed a find, because you travel slightly northwest by tram & then you have to walk for about 10-15 minutes.
You'll be passing residential flat blocks and parades of shops, never imagining seeing a mountain in such a neighbourhood.
But all of a sudden, at a road junction, out of the blue, you see a huge, chunky mass of mountain!!!
My Dad had given up, thinking there is no way there can be anything with good elevation around, and he barely said that when we saw it. A most pleasant & impressive surprise :)
It's a beautiful park that you walk into and up, practically circumnavigating the base of the mountain, passing a garage on the left, carrying on & then eventually turning right into the entrance of Keillers Park, signposted and all :)
I loved discovering this place, helped by the superb directions of Hakan, my buddy.
