Welcome to Gothenburg
This guide has recently been updated.
Every year visitors flock to "the face of Sweden" for a number of reasons: the city’s most fashionable street "the Avenue", the hip music scene, the fresh and abundant seafood-stuffed menus, and various major sporting events. The small town charm of Gothenburg offers a lively entertainment and cultural scene with everything from Sweden’s top amusement park Liseberg, to the Opera, Film Festival, and the Book Fair.
