Probably the best option to get into town from Goteborg City Airport is by airport coach (Flygbussarna). The trip to the Nils Ericsson Termin in the city centre takes 30 minutes. The coaches leave just in front of the airport terminal building about 50 mins after the arrival of a flight. The coaches leave Nils Ericson Terminal in the city centre just 2 h 20 min before the departure of a flight. The fare is 50 SEK (2006), which has to be paid directly to the driver. Payment by credit card is possible. There is also a bus stop of the local public buses in walking distance to the airport. It is called Kongahallavagen., but you need to change buses on your way to teh city centre at least once. Leave a Comment

The public transportation in Goteborg consists of blue trams and buses. Tickets can be bought from the driver or from various shops all around the town. A single ticket costs 20 SEK and is valid for a period of 90 minutes. If you plan to travel a few times on public transportation, then the 24 h ticket for 50 SEK can be useful. Just make sure to always validate your ticket when entering a vehicle. Ticket controls are carried out quite often. Leave a Comment

Goteborg's city centre which is limited by the river Gota and various canals is best explored on foot. Most of the main sights can be found in this area. Apart from that the banks and bridges of the canals invite for lovely walks. Many streets in the city centre of Goteborg are pedestrianised. Leave a Comment

 Älvsnabben by MickeH Sometimes it is easier, and more fun, to take the ferry to your destinations. It will take you to any number of stops all along the harbour. And if you want to go out into the archipelago then you really must take the ferry, because well... there is water in between and as a rule, trams don't do well in the water. You pay either in cash or with a cheaper 100 SEK card. The card can be bought at most "Pressbyr?n" shops. The ferrys leave Lilla Bommen regularly and there are timetables at all stops and you can also get timetables beforehand in any "Tidpunkten" location. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

by MalenaN You can go around in Göteborg both on the buses or on the tram with the same kind of ticket. There are different types of tickets to chose from: - one way tickets bought from the driver on the bus - saver card - periode card - round the region for 24 hours Leave a Comment

by MalenaN DFDSs ferries goes to England (Newcastle) and Norway (Kristiansand). You can make a "mini-cruise", going with a boat to Norway and back with the returning boat. You will have time for some entertainment and duty-free shopping on the boat. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatPhone: 031 - 65 06 50Website: www.dfds.se

Goteborg has two airports: The international airport Landvetter and the much smaller City Airport. I flew with the German budget airline Germanwings to the City Airport. It is is located about 15 km north of the city centre. In 2006 this airport was only served by three airlines: Ryanair, Germanwings and Wizzair. Leave a Comment

 Nr 10 tram towards Guldheden by MickeH The easiest way of getting around Gothenburg, apart from walking of course, is to hop on a tram. They will take you anyware you want to go, as long as you want to go to where the tram goes. :-) There is a large number of different lines, with their own number and color. It you don't know what tram to take then look at the maps at the tramstops. Or just ask the guy/gal next to you. Still confused? Look up a "Tidpunkten" office. They handle all questions regarding the trams. You can pay in cash in special machines inside the trams, but they only take coins and they are expensive if you plan to use the trams alot. It is cheaper to buy a 100 SEK card if you plan to move around abit. Theese cards also works on busses and the ferrys. They can be bought at most "Pressbyrån" shops, and they are all over town so you can't miss them. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Skargardsbat by hevbell Take the ferry from Saltholmen to the Sodra Skargarden [or Southern Archipelago]. Its run by Vasttraffik who also run the trams and just costs the same as a tram ticket. If you get there via tram then its just a continuation of that same journey. At least thats how it worked with my 100-card - I just had to restamp it as though I was changing lines. The ferries stop at a number of different islands so you could visit one or several or even stay on the boat and just enjoy the views from the ferry! Take the #11 tram to Saltholmen Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Central Station by hevbell If arriving by train you will come into the Central Station right in the centre of town and the main bus terminal, Nils Ericsson Terminal, adjoins it. The bus terminal has buses serving both of the cities airports - City Airport [the small airport served by Ryanair, closer to the city centre] and Landvetter. The bus & train stations also have TidPunkten booths where you can buy tickets for all the local transport including trams and get information. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
