Gothenburg

Gothenburg

An unheralded gem, Sweden’s second city offers a perfect getaway.

Meander through the leafy streets to find countless cafes and restaurants fit for foodies. Famous for its seafood the cold, fresh waters around this city mean the lobster, shrimp and fish is as good as you'll find anywhere, while the craft beer offering in the bars and pubs is well worth writing home about.

So far as sightseeing goes you'll be kept very busy. In addition to the striking mix of historic and contemporary architecture, you've also got a selection of museums, galleries and exhibitions along with amazing gardens and greenspaces. A great way to see the city, and the surrounding area is by bike (this place does go by the strapline 'the world's most sustainable destination', after all).

Gothenburg is also home to Scandinavia’s biggest theme park - Liseberg. This amusement park is packed with dozens of rides, attractions and games. A great place for families and thrill-seekers!
