GOTHENBURG - DID YOU KNOW?

Get your bearings with the impressive views from the top of the Skansen Kronan, the city’s 17th-century fortress. It was constructed to fend off attacks from Denmark, with an inspiring view if you climb the 200 steps to its highest point.

Did you know that Gothenburg has won top titles as the Culinary Capital of Sweden? This maritime town is particularly well known for its seafood, so don’t miss the chance to taste the catch of the day. A fun excursion is touring around the Feskekorka or ‘fish church’, a fish market designed to look like a church’s interior with its airy interior and eye-catching glass displays.

Another colourful market to explore is the main Market Hall or Saluhallen, filled with not just fish but also produce, cheese, meats, and local jams and honeys. You’ll find sweet treats and baked goods to take away along with local delicacies for a picnic lunch.

When it’s time to soak in a bit of culture, visit the Gothenburg Museum of Art to treat your eyes to a range of Nordic art from the past two centuries. If transportation’s more your speed, the Volvo Museum is dedicated to automotive displays from this famous Swedish carmaker.
