Opened in 1934, the Gothenburg City Theatre is Sweden's oldest of its kind and one of the country's largest dramatical theatres. Its diverse repertoire encompasses classical, contemporary, and international plays and performances. Before the shows, theatergoers frequently gather at Foajébaren, a bustling lobby bar renowned as a favored pre-theatre meeting spot.

In the middle of the Øresund strait, right between Sweden and Denmark, lies the idyllic island of Ven. The astronomer Tycho Brahe was gifted the whole island by King Fredrik II after he discovered a new star in the Cassiopeia constellation. Here he constructed one of the most interesting buildings of the time: the Uraniborg castle, a subterranean observatory called Stjerneborg and a renaissance garden. The New Church of Ven has now been turned into a museum, the garden has been renovated, and in the observatory you can watch a light and sound show. The light in Ven is said to have a unique quality, which has attracted many an artist and ceramist to the island. Take a tour among the studios and workshops, and meet with sculptors and silversmiths along the way. Ven is a small island, and the best way to get around is by bike, which you can easily rent when you get off the ferry.
