Gothenburg, Sweden's second city, is a friendly port on the west coast, with Dutch-style canals, green parks and a famous seafood scene. Its southern archipelago is a short tram and ferry ride away.

The city

Kungsportsavenyn, 'the Avenue', is the main boulevard. Haga, an old neighborhood of wooden houses, is famous for cafés and giant cinnamon buns. Liseberg is one of Scandinavia's largest amusement parks.

The sea

The Feskekôrka, a fish market hall shaped like a church, sells fresh seafood. Ferries reach the car-free islands of the southern archipelago, with rocky coves and fishing villages.
