Gothenburg Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The most popular attraction in Gothenburg (indeed in the whole of Sweden) is Liseberg Amusement Park, a vibrant combination of fairground, entertainment complex and cultural quarter. Among the city's many museums, Gothenburg Museum of Art is particularly enjoyable, containing as it does a great collection of modern Nordic art. Gothenburg is a city of green spaces, and the Gothenburg Botanical Garden is one of the finest in Northern Europe, with an impressive variety of plants and trees.
Situated by the sea, Gothenburg has plenty of great fish and seafood to offer, and one of the best places to buy it is at Feskekörka (Fish Church), a church-like building well worth a visit, as it houses several shops selling the most delicious and fresh seafood.
Maritiman, the world's largest floating sea vessel museum, is also recommended, as it gives a lively introduction to the city's close links with the sea. Visitors to Gothenburg should also consider a trip out to the archipelago with its pretty and lively villages and beautiful islets.
