Information for visitors to Gothenburg

The wide avenues of Gothenburg make it an easy place to get around.Quality of life is all important in Gothenburg - its criss-crossing canals and fresh
open spaces creating a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.

Stroll amongst the shops, restaurants and nightlife venues of Avenyn, before taking in other famous landmarks. With a rich history, there is a great deal to see and do in Gothenburg - such as the harbour front Opera House, some of its many museums and the Feskekörka fish market.

Getting around is easy with Gothenburg's tram system.

Just one of the events scheduled here for 2008 is the The World Figure Skating Championships, giving you even more reason to explore Sweden's second largest city.

We provide you with two ferry cruise services to begin your journey to Sweden - especially good if want the benefit of taking your car. Newcastle to Stavanger allows you to drive through Norway and Sweden down to Gothenburg. Harwich to Esbjerg (Denmark) gives you the chance to see the Danish countryside before sailing on to Gothenburg.
