Gorgeous Gothenburg
If you thought Sweden was almost too cool for its own good, just wait until you see the artsy Scandinavian hipsters filling the streets, boutiques and cafes of once-industrial Gothenburg. Originally a hub for ship building and exploring the northern oceans, the city has since de-industrialised and embraced its reputation as Sweden’s events capital. Luckily for you, it’s got an equally strong rep for being friendly. ... Read more »
You may wonder how Gothenburg’s residents manage to stay so positive in winter when the sun goes down at 3pm, but Gothenburg is a vibrant hub. Visit Feskekorka (Fish Church) for seafood so fresh it’s worth the smell, or get a heavy dose of history at Skansen Kronan. Architecture buffs will be mesmerised by the city’s largest church, the Oscar Fredrik– a building almost as beautiful and well-dressed as the cool guys and gals filling the streets surrounding it.

GOTHENBURG EVENTS

WHEN TO GO
· July is the warmest month, averaging about 18ºC (64ºF), and is the best time for hiking and mountain climbing.
· November to March is winter and perfect for skiing, though you’ll probably want to get off the mountain before mid-afternoon when it gets dark.
· Spring is a magical time to visit Gothenburg, with gardens shaking off their snowy shackles and flowers blooming.
GETTING AROUND
· Gothenburg boasts the largest light rail network in Scandinavia. It’s both fast and a good way to catch the scenery.
· Cycling is a national pastime in Sweden, meaning bike paths are well-maintained.
· Most of the major attractions of Gothenburg are very centralised, so you can reach them by foot.
