Gothenburg Airport
Landvetter, 25 km east of the city
Gothenburg Landvetter
The main airport on Sweden's west coast, served by around 30 airlines and linked to the center by airport coach in roughly 20 to 35 minutes. The closer City Airport no longer handles scheduled flights.
The city's character
Sweden by the sea: relaxed and turned toward the water
Sweden's second-largest city, with around 600,000 people and about 1.1 million in the wider area, sits on the Kattegat coast at the mouth of the Göta älv. Its port is the largest in the Nordic countries. Gothenburg was chartered in 1621 as a fortified trading town settled largely by the Dutch, which explains its canals. It is also home to Volvo, and with two big universities it has a lively student feel.
Haga, Feskekôrka and Avenyn
Haga is a district of 19th-century wooden houses, famous for its oversized cinnamon rolls, the Haga bulle. Feskekôrka, the Fish Church indoor market beside the canal, shows how much the city lives off the sea. Avenyn, the boulevard laid out in the 1860s and 1870s, runs to Götaplatsen with its art museum and concert hall, and holds the city's biggest concentration of pubs and clubs.
Archipelago
Car-free islands, one tram and one boat from downtown
Styrsö and the southern archipelago
Take the tram to the Saltholmen stop and hop on a ferry to the southern archipelago, where Styrsö is the main island. Regular city transit tickets are valid on the boat. The islands are car-free, so you get around on foot or by bike, past smooth rocks, small marinas and wooden houses. It is the easiest way out of the city without renting a car.
Family fun and city life
Liseberg, Universeum and the gardens
Liseberg is Scandinavia's biggest amusement park by number of rides and Sweden's most visited attraction, with more than 3 million visitors a year. Universeum, the science center, and the Maritiman floating ship museum round out a family day. For green space, Slottsskogen park and the Botanical Garden, voted Sweden's most beautiful garden in 2003, are well worth half a day.
Big events and a record-breaking tower
Göteborgsvarvet, billed as the world's largest half marathon, fills the streets each May, and the Gothia Cup is the world's largest youth football tournament. At 247 meters, Karlatornet in Lindholmen is the tallest building in the Nordic countries, with an observation deck planned for 2026. Seafood is the local identity, from prawns and mussels to cod.
