Public Transport

The public transport network in Gothenburg is excellent. Västtrafik (tel: 0771 414 300; website: www.vasttrafik.se) is responsible for running the trams and buses. The Gothenburg tram network is the largest in Scandinavia with a total track length of 80km (50 miles). There are 200 trams serving 12 day-time and five night-time lines. The bus network is equally impressive, and there are plenty of ferries as well. The Älvsnabben Ferry (tel: 07771 414 300) runs every hour or half hour between Lilla Bommen, Rosenlund, Lindholmspiren, Slottsberget, Eriksberg and Klippan from early morning until late in the evening. The Gothenburg Pass (Göteborgspasset), which can be bought at the city's tourist information centres, hotels and youth hostels (or in advance at www.goteborg.com), entitles the holder to free use of city's public transport.
