Gothenburg is located on the West coast of Southern Sweden, at the mouth of the river Göta älv, which flows through the city and forms the island of Hisingen. The island is connected to the city by numerous bridges and a subway, and has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as testified by the Tumlehed rock painting. It is also the home place of the Volvo car industry: their fist car was produced here in 1927, and today you can visit the Volvo Museum.
You can take a stroll along the Avenyn, the main boulevard and heart of the city, with its many shops, bars, restaurants, and the wonderful Poseidon fountain. If you want to know more about the city, you can go see the Gothenburg City Museum: from the Viking Age to the Industrial revolution, there are everyday and valuable items depicting how Gothenburg has developed during the centuries. Other important museums include the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of World Culture.
If you travel with kids, you can go to the Liseberg Amusement Park, one of the largest in Scandinavia, where you can find roller coasters, carousels, and virtual reality experiences. At the Universeum national science centre your kids will have fun at the aquarium, reptilarium, and chemistry lab.
If you are interested in contemporary culture, you can do a lot in Gothenburg: the Gothenburg Film Festival and Book Fair are the major cultural events in Sweden.
If you travel in the summer, you can swim in the sea at Näset beach, or at the Bergsjön lake, where you will also find a barbecue area. The archipelago in front of the city offers numerous possibilities: you can take a tour on foot, by bike, by kayak or by sailboat. And after a day in the open air you can treat yourself to a good plate of fresh, delicious local fish.
