Not to be missed in Gothenburg

 

So what would a born and bred Gothenburg person tell friends and acquaintances to go and see when they come to visit? We asked the journalists at Metro Gothenburg to share the best tips they have with regard to things it's all too easy to miss out on if you're just spending a few days here and aren't all that familiar with the city.


See all of Gothenburg!

GöteborgsPasset gives you free entry to museums, as well as to classics like Liseberg and the Paddan sightseeing boat, free travel on public transport, a city bus tour, etc.

Countryside

Slottsskogen. Enjoy a picnic on the grass, play frisbee golf, have a beer outdoors at Villa Belparc, or wander up to the animal parks with the kids and have a look at the elks and seals.

Picturesque

The house of the County Governor on Haga Nygata gives a beautiful insight into what the city looked like before all the demolitions took place. Now full of cafés, restaurants and shops selling curios. Crowded.

Budget crossings

Take the tram to Saltholmen and then get on a ferry to the islands. Just two coupons buys you sunshine, swimming and a trip as far as Vrångö.

Have lunch

There are plenty of lunch options at the stalls in the covered market. Or tuck into a falafel and take a look at the shops in Kungstorget just outside.

Go swimming

Visit the naturist beach at Saltholmen. Separate areas for men and women. A "clothed" area is also available on the beach. Enjoy a luxurious swim indoors at Hagabadet (K rated). People who've enjoyed a few drinks swim at Poseidon at night. Not recommended.

Strong beers going back a long way

Beer has been served for 105 years at 7:ans Ölhall. A classic pub that burned down but was rebuilt.. Crowded...

Go shopping

NK, Arkaden and Nordstan for mainstream shopping. Relatively new Dietrich (Husargatan) and Scout (Erik Dahlbergsgatan) for cool, unique fashions.

Shellfish

You can't visit the west coast without Räkfrossa! At Restaurang Räkan, you can even sail your own barge. Rumour has it that Kiss came here once after playing in Gothenburg.

Tall

The best view from any bar can be found at Heaven 23 in Gothia Towers. Here, you can enjoy a drink, have lunch or  indulge in a spot of à la carte. Don't forget to take the glass elevator to the top!
