Sweden?s second largest city is home to a cluster of little-known gems, cultural delights and seductive Scandinavian sights. Thanks to its laid-back, west coast vibe, Gothenburg is often regarded as one of the country?s most cosmopolitan cities with a thriving cafe culture, international shops and a cluster of high-brow galleries.
The city?s suburban archipelago is best explored by boat, coach and foot, and your hop-on hop-off tour lets you do all three. With your sightseeing ticket, step aboard a boat to cruise around the city?s canals and discover top Gothenburg attractions such as Lilla Bommen Harbour ?near the island fortress of Nya Älvsborg ? and Maritiman, a floating maritime museum.
At select stops around town, swap your mode of transport to an open-top, double-decker bus and see sights including the city?s premier theater venue of Stora Teatern and Drottningtorget, a square near the city gardens. Hop on and off as often as you wish, and explore the charming neighborhood of Haga or central attractions such as Feskekôrka, a fish market where counters creak under the weight of fresh seafood.
With your ticket, you can remain on the bus or boat for their entire loops as you listen to the commentary, or you can hop on and off at any of the stops around the city to scout out Gothenburg?s delights.
