The city is the heart of the west coast and a prominent port city with Scandinavia’s largest seaport. Gothenburg is centred in a magnificent archipelago with more than 50 000 islands and scerries scattered along the coastline. This gives easy access to supreme nature scenes and unique experiences and adventures. In addition to an easy-going spirit, the profound devotion to sea life and maritime culture is the significant feature in the city’s atmosphere and charm. This legacy is notable in Gothenburg’s world-renowned culinary scene as well as in the many outstanding attractions offered in the city.
