Gothenburg (Goteborg) Overview

Called the "gateway to northern Europe," Gothenburg (Göteborg in Swedish) is the country's chief port and second-largest city. Swedes often say that Gothenburg is a more welcoming town than Stockholm, and, in fact, a recent opinion poll showed that half the Swedish population would be happy to move to Gothenburg because of its friendly atmosphere. Canals, parks, and flower gardens enhance its appeal, as do a large number of museums (featuring everything from the world's only stuffed blue whale to modern art) and the largest amusement park in northern Europe. Gothenburg also is a convenient center for excursions to the fishing villages and lovely vacation resorts north of the city. Read More
