Frequently asked questions
About Gothenburg
Gothenburg is a vibrant city located on the west coast of Sweden, known for its picturesque canals, leafy boulevards, and neoclassical architecture. The currency used in Sweden is the Swedish Krona (SEK). The city offers a mix of cultural experiences, from museums and galleries to trendy boutiques and cafes, making it a perfect destination for all types of travelers.
When to visit
The best time to visit Gothenburg is during the summer months of June to August when the weather is mild and the city comes alive with outdoor festivals and events. However, if you prefer fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant weather and colorful foliage.
Getting around
Getting around Gothenburg is easy thanks to its efficient public transportation system, including trams, buses, and ferries. Visitors can also explore the city by bike, with many bike rental options available. Walking is another popular way to see the sights, especially in the compact city center.
Traveller tips
Don't forget to try the local seafood, such as herring and shrimp, at one of the city's many seafood restaurants. Be sure to visit the Liseberg amusement park, especially during the holiday season when it is transformed into a winter wonderland. Take a boat tour of the city's canals for a unique perspective of Gothenburg's architecture and scenery. Make time to explore the nearby islands of the Gothenburg archipelago for a peaceful retreat from the city. Pack layers of clothing, as the weather in Gothenburg can be unpredictable even in the summer months.
