Highlights

Set sail from central Gothenburg on a 2.5-hour cruise through the city’s harbour and towards the beautiful Gothenburg archipelago. Board the classic ship M/S S:t Erik at Lilla Bommen and enjoy a relaxing journey along the coast. Pass the historic Älvsborg Fortress, once a key guardian of the city’s waterways, before taking in views of islands, open water, and coastal scenery. Live commentary in English and Swedish, played through the onboard speaker system, introduces the sights along the route. Make use of the indoor areas or enjoy the sea air from the outdoor sun deck. The vessel has a cafeteria, restaurant, and bar, with snacks and drinks available for purchase. This Stromma sightseeing cruise is an easy way to experience Gothenburg’s maritime atmosphere and the archipelago beyond the city.

About Gothenburg

Gothenburg is Sweden's west-coast port city, with canals, a wooden-house district, an amusement park and a car-free archipelago offshore.

Gothenburg was founded in 1621 by King Gustav II Adolf at the mouth of the Göta älv, and Dutch engineers laid out its canals, which still ring the old centre. Avenyn, the main boulevard, runs to Götaplatsen and its fountain with Poseidon, beside the Museum of Art. Haga, an old district of wooden houses, cafés and giant cinnamon buns, and Feskekôrka, a fish market in a building shaped like a church, are among the best-loved corners.

Top-ranked sights in Gothenburg: Haga, Gustaf Adolf Square (Gustav Adolfs Torg), Feskekorka Market.
