Gothenburg is a dynamic port city on the west coast of Sweden with a rich history of shipping, industry and merchant traditions. Here harmoniously combine cozy quarters of the XIX century, modern areas and spacious embankments, and the sea color and northern atmosphere make walks around the city especially memorable.
Man-made attractions of Gothenburg range from green public spaces to monumental structures: Slotskogen Park with a zoo and museums, the Park of the Gardeners Society of Gothenburg as an example of nineteenth-century improvement, the largest Botanical Garden in Northern Europe, the impressive Ullevi Stadium, the picturesque Masthugget Church, Gotaplatsen Square and the historical Kungsportsplatsen, as well as the Goeta Alvbron lift bridge. These places tell about the architecture, culture and social life of the city.
Natural attractions are no less attractive: the Goeta Elv River forms picturesque promenades and water routes, the nearby islands of the archipelago, including Vrango Island, offer beaches and quiet trails, and parks and botanical corners create green oases inside the urban fabric. It is easy to find places for quiet walks, picnics and nature watching, which makes Gothenburg attractive for lovers of open space.
