About Göteborg
Strategically located in the southwest region of Sweden, the city of Göteborg is the second-largest city in Sweden. With a long tradition as a port city, half-way between Copenhagen and Oslo and with an open connection to the North Sea, Göteborg is still an important trade and industry hub, with major Swedish companies like Volvo and SKF maintaining their head offices here. The port of Göteborg is the largest in the Nordic region and most of Sweden’s sea-trade passes via the city.
Though, Göteborg has much more to offer than just trade and industry. It is a beautiful city that combines a big-city mentality with the charms of a small town. With its hills, bridges, canals and historical buildings, it is an important tourist destination in Sweden. The city offers a year-through abundance of cultural venues and activities and its seafood specialties, sightseeing attractions and lively bars make Göteborg a great place to visit.
To explore Göteborg, make sure you take a Paddan boat trip to through the city, allowing you to discover the city and its beauties from the water. The historical city centre (Gothenburg) where most attractions and places of interest are located is pretty compact and easy to explore by foot. A nice alternative is renting a bike.
Two important places to remember for your orientation are the Götaplatsen square and the Avenyn street. Avenyn is a good place to start your sightseeing tour of Göteborg as most attractions and interesting sights are on or close to the street. Götaplatsen square is the city’s cultural centre and most of the city’s museums and theatres are located around or near the square.
