Gothenburg

Gothenburg is Sweden’s second‑largest city on the Kattegat coast, known for its leafy avenues, bustling harbour, archipelago islands and a relaxed food culture centred on fresh seafood and craft beer, making it a laid‑back urban base for exploring western Sweden.

When to go

Summer brings long daylight and calmer seas for island trips, while winter can be cold and the harbour more subdued, so most visitors prefer the late spring to early autumn months.
