About Gothenburg, Guide and Top Tourist Attractions
(Gothenburg, Sweden)



Gothenburg is located at the west coast of Sweden, facing the Kattegatt, a branch of the North Sea. Gothenburg is an Anglicisation of its Swedish name, Göteborg. It is part of the Bohuslän County, which is characterized by rocky topology and frequent rainfall. Nevertheless, the city has managed to take advantage of its location and built a thriving trade and shipping industry. Today, Gothenburg is home to the largest harbour installation in Scandinavia.

Gothenburg is very tourist-friendly and is the venue for many international events. Some regular tourist attractions are the Göteborg Film Festival in February, the Göteborg International Book Fair in the autumn, and the Gothia Cup, the world's largest football tournament for young players, in the summer.

About Gothenburg: What to do in Gothenburg - Gothenburg, Bohuslän County, Sweden
There is much to do and see in Gothenburg, from quiet walks by the coastline to shopping at the hippest malls and commercial centres. The city offers tourists the Göteborg Pass, a card that gives you access to most of the tourist attractions in the area. It is best to secure a Göteborg Pass upon arriving at the city, so that you can make the most of your stay.

The art galleries are a must-see; there are a lot of them around Gothenburg, mostly run by units of the Gothenburg University. The Göteborg Museum of Art holds year-round art exhibits from classic artists such as Picasso and Gauguin, as well as contemporary artists in different mediums.

Sightseeing tours are very common in the city. Gothenborg is famous for its open-topped Paddan boats, which take tourists on a tour around the city through the harbour. Bus tours are also popular. These will take you to all the main points of interest in the city within one day. However, bus and boat tours are only available from May to September. If you come to Gothenburg in the off-seasons, you can travel on foot or rent a bicycle, and explore the city on your own.

Tourists can spend an entire day at the Liseberg Park in Korsvagen. Said to be one of the world's greatest amusement parks, Liseberg is famous for Balder, the world's steepest wooden roller coaster, simulated whitewater rapids, and a great view from the 125-meter Liseberg Tower.

Just outside central Gothenburg, you will find several castles and architectural masterpieces, most of which are open to tourists. The Elfsborg Fortress, located at the mouth of the Göta River, is an island secluded from the rest of Gothenburg. A 30-minute guided boat tour will take you around the harbour on which the castle sits. A tour guide will point out the main places of interest within the castle and talk about its fascinating history.

In Kungsbackafjorden, 40 kilometers south of Gothenburg, the Tjolöholm Castle is the highlight of the countryside. A walking tour will take you through beautiful pathways and bathing spots. The castle grounds are home to a diverse bird community, making it a popular birdwatching spot.
