INNERSTADEN (CITY) A wonderful mix of small shops, cafés and places to enjoy lunch. The shopping ranges from local Gothenburg design goods to Swedish and international chainstores. Don’t miss Vallgatan, Södra Larmgatan, Magasinsgatan or the tucked-away Victoriapassagen. Recognisable landmarks include the Market Hall (Saluhallen), Feskekôrka fish market hall and the Kopparmärra statue of King Karl IX on horseback.

NORRA ÄLVSTRANDEN HAGA AND LINNÉ DISTRICTS NORDSTADEN Haga Nygata’s well-preserved timber buildings house everything from cafés and hatmakers to jewellers. Stroll through streets with a small- town feel up to the lookout point at Kronan or head for leafy Slottsskogen city park. The restaurants of Linnégatan and bohemian bars of Andra Långgatan are also just a short walk away. GÖTA ÄLV INNERSTADEN NORDSTADEN Just a few hundred metres from the big shopping centre you will find the Old City Hall (Kronhuset) – the oldest building in the city, built in 1654. The small buildings around the cobbled courtyard are now home to glassblowers, a chocolate factory and various craft studios. Down by the river is the Göteborg Opera (Göteborgsoperan). A familiar AVENYN & VASA landmark is the statue of the city’s founder King Gustaf Adolf. HAGA & LINNÉ AVENYN AND VASA The bars and restaurants jostle for space along the main boulevard, Avenyn, and the nightlife attracts a diverse mix of people. Around Göta- platsen you will find Gothenburg Museum of Art (Göteborgs Konst- MAJORNA museum), the City Theatre (Stadsteatern) and Gothenburg Concert Hall (Konserthuset) and just a stone’s throw from there is the city’s main events area. At the top of Avenyn stands the statue of Poseidon. Vasastan draws you in with its great variety of art galleries, cafés and restaurants.

MAJORNA Near the abutment of Älvsborg Bridge (Älvsborgsbron) stands Röda Sten contemporary art centre, while the Maritime Museum and Aquarium is close to the centre. In between, the district has a mix of in- viting neighbourhoods and imposing "governor’s houses". Head towards Mariaplan for a coffee or to shop for interior design goods alongside the residents of Majorna. FIND YOUR FAVOURITE DISTRICT

We take a closer look at some of the most distinctive districts of Gothenburg. NORRA ÄLVSTRANDEN Some are close to the centre, while others are a little way off the usual tourist routes. The former shipyard areas of Lindholmen, Sannegårdshamnen and Eriksberg have been transformed to provide modern housing and Find more information and tips a little further on in the guide. offices. The district that stretches towards Älvsborg Bridge in the west is best explored by taking a walk along the quayside, or from the upper deck of the Älvsnabben harbour ferry.

10 11 THE COAST & ISLANDS

EXPLORE

Take a deep breath of fresh sea air. The coast and islands around Gothenburg are a unique setting where the craggy shore meets leafy nature, dotted with fishing commu- nities and opportunities to sample gourmet cuisine.

The islands of the archipelago are close enough to visit for the day, but still far enough away to have a totally different tempo to the city. The southern half of the archipelago is car-free. The only traffic you will see are flatbed mopeds, bikes and the occasional wheelbarrow. This is a relaxing setting and the frequent ferry service from Saltholmen makes it easy to get around. You can get to the north- ern archipelago by car or bus, and explore a mix of large and small islands. Several of the islands are linked by bridges after you take the ferry from Lilla Varholmen to Öckerö.

TIP! You can find a map of the islands at the back ! of this guide.

Pack a picnic and head out on a day trip with Gothenburg as your start- ing point. Fortresses, castles and zebras are just a taste of what you can see.

There are several impressive castles and man- or houses dating from different centuries close to Gothenburg. They are often set in beautiful grounds that are well worth experiencing in their own right. The castles and many other sights provide daily tours during the summer season and on weekends in spring and autumn.

Wake up refreshed and wrap yourself in a fluffy dressing gown before getting ready for a day in the city. You can sleep well almost everywhere, while also feeling good about the environment. Many of our hotels hold an environmental diploma awarded by the City of Gothenburg or carry the Nordic Ecolabel.

Gothenburg is one of the greenest hotel cities in the world and was voted the best eco- tourism destination in Europe back in 2011. Many hotels are so close to the city centre that almost everything is within walking distance, from shops to museums and galleries, enter- tainment and restaurants. Many of the hotels are so special that they are worth the journey in their own right. It may be the food, the architecture, the interior or the full package that attracts you. Wherever you choose to stay your hotel will be part of the experience. You can also find hostels, cottages and camping here.
