 One side of Avenyn by MickeH
This is the main gathering street for people out to have a good time. It is littered with pubs and bars and restaurants as well as shops and is usually quite crowded.
If you are going clubbing, I suppose this is the place to be, since Valand, Lounge and many more clubs have their business here.
But it can be a bit of a tourist trap as many tourists are drawn here and may simply stay in this area for the duration of their holidays. Try not to miss out on the other places in Gothenburg because you get stuck on Avenyn. Leave a Comment Directions: Don't worry, you'll find it!

 Poseidon by Henrik_rrb
Here you'll find a lot of things, from shopping, museums and restaurants to nightclubs and parks.
The street itself I would say is around 2-3 kilometers long (although I might be totally wrong... So bad at guessing the lenght), and starts almost at the water, and then goes up all the way to "Götaplatsen", where you'll find a big statue of Poseidon - the god of the ocean.
Along the way you'll find parks, as Bältespännarparken (where you can sunbath or listen to concerts in the summer, and figureskating in the winter), restaurants as Hard Rock Café, Brasserie Lipp and Joe Farelli's, nightclubs as Nivĺ, Bryggeriet, Park Avenue, shopping with shops for shoes, cameras, clothes, food, and museums as the Museum of Art (Konstmuseum) and the Concert Hall.
Especially in the summer this street is a really lively one, with the nightlife going on until 5 in the morning at some places. It's also a very popular place for some after work, when people goes here directly from work and take a beer at one of all the pubs.
Along the street you'll all the time find the trams, a traditional thing for Gothenburg (unlike Stockholm, this city is beautiful, so we don't have to dig down the subway underground... ;) ).
In the nights this is a crowded street, but please be a bit careful. Sometimes it's quite violent, and there are also a lot of taxidrivers who isn't exactly legal...

 Kungsportsavenyn seen from
Götaplatsen by diocletianvs
This street is lined with shops, caffees and restaurants. The prevailing language in these places is not Swedish, since the locals go out somewhere else. Although you can't miss this famous avenue in Göteborg I could have easily place this tip under the "Tourist traps" as well. (Be sure just to walk up and down here.)

Avenyn is a very nice place to be. It is full of shops, hotels, restaurants, bars, museums, concert hall, nightclubs and cafés. During the summer every restaurant with self respect also has an outdoor part of the restaurant.
Kungsportsavenyn, commonly known as just Avenyn ("The Avenue", It is the major avenue in the city), is the main street of Gothenburg, Sweden, and a smaller counterpart of the Champs-Élysées. It was created in the 1860s and 1870s as a result of an international town planning competition. With a total length of about 1000 meters, it stretches from the old moat at the edge of the older part of Gothenburg, and ends at the Götaplatsen square, where the Gothenburg Museum of Art and several other cultural institutions are located.
At the moat, it connects to the smaller street Östra Hamngatan, and the Avenue takes its it full name after Kungsporten, the "King's Gate" which was located at the point in the fortifications where Östra Hamngatan ends. Address: KungsportsavenyenDirections: Central city

Avenyn (the avenue) is the place to see and be seen. That's a busy street basically 24/7 with places to eat, discotheques/bars, shops, etc. It's a nice place to stroll and look at many nice looking buildings when the weather allows it. Address: AvenynDirections: Take the airport coach (if from Landvetter airport) and get off at the stop called Kungsportsplatsen. Many tram lines that will take you there from various points of the city stop at Kungsportsplatsen too.
