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.
