The amusment park Liseberg is probably the most famous thing in Göteborg.
The amusment park, started up as early as 1923, is the biggest one in the Nordic countries, and their roller coaster "Balder" was actually named "the best roller coaster in the world" in 2003.
I have to admit that I don't use the attractitions so much anymore, but Liseberg can be fun anyway. Just a stroll in the whole park, a couple of beers in one of all the bars/restaurants, or a whole evening competiting with my friends on all the different games (Femkamp, five sports in one, is very popular at Liseberg).
Or why don't go to one of all the 30-40 concerts that are held at the "Big stage" every season, with some of the best artists from Sweden.
Every year more than 3 million people visits Liseberg.
Not sure how old I was the first time my parents took me there, but I know I was scared to death for all those scary roller coasters, even for the mini-one! Think I just dared to go in the karusells until I was like 12 years old or something... :)
My favourite attraction? Definately Flumride, where you go in a tree-wagon on water, and if you're many enough in the wagon you'll get totally wet!
Yes I know, it's easy to entertain me... ;)
The season starts in May, and the park closes in October. In December it opens up again, with a special "Christmas-celebration", with light all over the park, and big markets with Christmas-things to buy.
The attractions opens up every day at 15.00, and close somewhere between 23 and midnight, depending on which day it is.
You can just enter the park, for a fee of 60 SEK (6,50 euro). Then you can also buy tickets for the attractions in different price categories.
To buy a "åkpass", which will give you free rides for a whole day at all attractions, you'll have to pay 265 SEK (27 euro), and for two days you'll pay 335 SEK.
If you want to use less attractions you can buy the "big pass" or the "small pass" which gives you 18 or 12 tickets for the attractions. Every attraction costs 1-4 tickets. Leave a Comment Directions: In the central parts of the town. Take tram number 5 to get there. 10 minutes walk from Ullevi (football stadium), 20-25 minutes walk from the Central station, or 10 minutes walk from Avenyn.Website: www.liseberg.se

 Part of Liseberg as seen from
the liseberg tower by MickeH
It is scandinavias biggest amusementpark, and the best as well. Due to it's location in central gothenburg it has some problem with space. It just don't have enough of it. But you will still find plenty of rides to suit your taste and nerves. From the gentle rides for the smallets children to more thrilling rides for the not so faint of heart. These include a wooden rollercoaster called Balder and the new, even faster, Kanonen (The Cannon) wich can both be seen in the picture.
Be aware that queues can be, and often are, painfully long during the busy season!
Prices:
Enterance fee is 60 sek and an all day pass to ride as much as you want is around 270 sek. There is cheaper options for those who just want to test a ride or two. Leave a Comment

I went on a few of the rides - the Flume ride a couple of times (got a bit wet the first time because I was sitting in the front part), Balder (excellent Roller Coaster), another roller coaster - I think it was Lisebergbanan. I was going to go on 'Kanonen' - the latest rollercoaster, that only takes about 47 seconds to go around, but there was a 35min wait.
I also played 'Fem Kamp'. This is where you have tickets and you and your friends select five different games to play and you get scores for coming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. We played; Skee-ball (rolling a ball up a 'ramp' and into a hole to get the most points), Traslaget (trying to hit things that come out of a hole with a hammer), Balderacet (rolling balls into holes to get a connected train to move the fastest along a track), Golfslaget (putting) and Water Ball (using a water pistol to navigate a ball around a 'track' and into a hole - this was the hardest one for me).
Also, while there go up Liseberg Tower - you will get great views of the park and of Göteborg, the tower rotates 360 degrees!
Wheel of Fortune tickets - this is where you put your ticket on a number and if that number comes up you can win: chocolate, sweets, coffee, coffee makers, toys and other things - just depends on which wheel you pick!
Liseberg really is a huge amusement park - but it really is more than that. There is plenty of live entertainment, you can stay there for conferences, there are hotels to stay at, and they even have a 'guest harbour'.
This is definitely an amusement park for the young and old alike. I had a great time when I was there.
Liseberg sells many different kinds of tickets, which allow you to be flexible. For all the information on tickets, check out: Liseberg Tickets.
But generally a 1-Day Ride Pass (excluding Gasten Ghost Hotel) costs SEK 265. Or a Large Ticket Book - 18 ride coupons and 3 Wheel of Fortune tickets - costs SEK 215 Leave a Comment

Two rollercoasters: Balder in wood and Kanonen in steel/metal, thrill rides for people of all ages, a 3D movie theater (Pandavision), the ghost house. Need I say more? Bring your kids and enjoy a day full of laughter, and while you're here why not let your inner kid out too?
Want to make the experience last a little longer? Book a hotel room in one of their hotels.
Christmas market during winter. They also have concerts with popular artists during the summer. Address: LisebergDirections: Tram 5 will take you there, from Brunnsparken.Website: www.liseberg.se

Liseberg Amusement park is one of Scandinavia’s most popular tourist attractions, and whilst not competing with the umpteen parks in America and the UK for sheer scare-the-crap-out-of-you thrills, is still a fabulous destination for any visiting family. It embodies more of the ‘park’ than thrills label often hosting large pop concerts, firework displays and entertainment for the more sedate visitors. ‘Spaceport Liseberg’, the futuristic tower that dominates the park offers superb panoramas of the city from the tope of the rotating viewing galley that travels to the top of the tower at regular intervals. Considering the prices of many amusement parks these days it’s surprisingly good value and thankfully you won’t have quite the massive waits you experience for star attractions in parks back home.

Liseberg is the biggest amusement park in northern Europe. It is full of restaurant and amusement attractions but also a big park where you can stroll along, watching the flowers and all the people.
From the beginning of december they have a big christmas market with over 5 000 000 small lamps covering buildings, trees and making the market a beautiful place to be. A lot of handicraft, candy and amusement attractions are open.

Very nice place to go, lot of fun even when the weather can be bad... I recommend paid more but get the pass to get all the rides.
Have place to eat, casual and informal restaurant. Lot of place for gameling candies or in other one nice prizes.
