As always with Sweden - the weather
In a nutshell
A nice big city which doesn't feel too big
42 Reviews ... or on second thoughts, best maybe tie it up again, so it won't be in your face when you enjoy the rides at the amusement park in Gothenburg, called Liseberg! Liseberg is the biggest amusement park in the Nordic countries, and this is thanks to some farsighted park planners in the early days....
41 Reviews The colourful Utkiken is probably Goteborg's best known landmark. The lipstsick shaped building was completed in 1989 and designed by Ralph Erskine and Heikki Särg. At 86 metres it includes a cafe with panoramic views of the town and its harbour. Directions: The Utkiken can be found in the Lilla...
26 Reviews Great art gallery, much better than I thought it was going to be...website etc doesn't do it justice (couldn't get the english version to work). Quite large and a great impressionist/modern art collection and superb collection of Scandanavian art...a real eye-opener some of it. Two very good...
10 Reviews The Fish Church (Fesekekorka) is the fish and sea food market of Goteborg. The building was opened in 1874 and resembles a church. It was an architectural experiment of military man Victor von Gegerfelt. A wonderful iron statue of a fisherman, a fish vendor and a dog can be found near one of the...
14 Reviews If you are in Göteborg for any amount of time, you are sure to find yourself on the Avenyn (the Avenue) at least once, if not more. Formally called Kungsportsavenyn, it is the main street running through Göteborg, and is a very popular place. It was created in the late 19th century as the result of...
20 Reviews Okay, if there only is one place you'll take your girlfriend/boyfriend for a romantic walk, Haga is the place! The Haga quarter is a small area, but you won't need anything more. The streets are small and narrow, and full of beautiful small shops, cafés and antiques. Leaving the bigger streets, with...
11 Reviews Universeum is unlike any other place I have ever been to. It shows you the world and teaches you about it. Universeum has different 'zones' - take the 'elevator' up to the top floor and then work your way down. First you go through 'Water's Way' which tells you about the people, animals and plants...
7 Reviews This 17th century fortress is located at the mouth of the Göta River and has a fascinating history. The island boasts a café, dungeons and a period church. Don't miss the big cannonball on one of the walls in the fortress
5 Reviews and 434 Opinions This is probably the best hotel for business, either at the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Center...
Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel
1 Review and 461 Opinions We stayed here in August 2002 at the end of our Baltic trip around Sweden, Finland, and Estonia. ...
5 Reviews The best food hall in Sweden as Göteborg has cheaper food than elsewhere and is a logistics hub so competition is fierce. In Stockholm the (smaller) halls tend to concentrate on either immigrant food or expensive Swedish game and delicatessen but this one has it all, plus more fresh fish since it is...
7 Reviews No way to describe the feeling !!!! a market fish, a small one, an indoor one ... then ... a snack corner where eating herrings on a bread ... then ... a small restaurant, Gabriel ... and this is what you should not miss if you like fish !!!!!!!!!!! Seafood buffet & fish soup ... and why not crabs...
20 Reviews All the "umbrella drinks" you would expect but in the skybar on the top of the Gothia Tower hotel which means a great city view too. Actually, you could afford staying at the hotel too these days since they often have city break special rates and aren't more expensive than the other "biggies" in...
16 Reviews The Dubliner belongs to a chain of Irish Pubs in Sweden and Denmark. The branch in Goteborg has a big bar and a restaurant with various sorts of pub food. Apart from that it is directly connected with a steakhouse called The Cattleman. The Dubliner has most major sporting events live on big TV...
6 Reviews I am not sure how to describe this. On two separate occassions have I known two people whom money (cash) have been stolen from them while they are out in the city of Göteborg. I feel so sorry for them for having lost their money when they are traveling here. One guy was sitting in a café in Haga...
3 Reviews Terror is a strong word, but it sounds cool combined with tram :-) But there is a need to be careful if you are not used to trams. People are run over every year because they don't pay heed to them in traffic. If you just check for cars and then walk you might walk straight infront of a tram and...
14 Reviews Mosts tourists to Göteborg opt to visit the Northern part of the archipelago (Orust, Hönö), as they are very well connected to the mainland and are easily accessed by car. Not so many, however, venture out to the Southern archipelago which has its own advantages. The main islands are accessible by...
9 Reviews 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,...
21 Reviews The Gamla Ullevi Stadium (Old Ullevi) is home to three Goteborg football clubs: IFK Goteborg, Orgryte IS and GAIS. The stadium was inaugurated in September 1916. It has a capacity of about 17.000, of which 12.000 places are standings. Unfortunately, the plan is to demolish Gamla Ullevi and to...
3 Reviews The last 28 years Göteborgsvarvet, a half marathon, has been ran in Gothenburg in May. In 2007 there were 40 000 runners who ran the 21,5 kilometers through the center of the city. This is a huge event in the city, and people are standing in lines along the path to watch the people run by. I saw...
11 Reviews Goteborg has many interesting buildings constructed in various architectural styles. You can find buildings from the 17th century (e.g. Crown Fortlet) as well as modern buildings like the Opera House (1994). Many houses in the suburbs of Goteborg were built in functionalism style at the beginnig of...
10 Reviews Goteborg's most famous street is probably Avenyn. The name is just a short form of Kungsportsavenyn. The wide Avenyn links Kungsportsbron bridge in the city centre with Gotaplatsen, where the Art Museum, the Concert Hall and a Poseidon statue can be found. The street is not only a vibrant...

Göteborg is Sweden's second city and always painfully aware of it - some locals hate Stockholm citizens with that feeling that only a nation's second city can have. Despite this, a great mix of city...
