Attractions in Gothenburg
Start exploring with a stroll along the city's main boulevard, Kungsportsavenyn (often simply called Avenyn). It's lined with cafes, bars and boutiques, and at its southern end you can admire the Poseidon statue before visiting the Gothenburg Museum of Fine Art.
Not far away is the Universeum, billed as ‘the whole world in one place’. It’s 10 floors filled with experiences and adventures, showcasing animals, nature, technology and fun experiments under one roof, complete with rainforest and aquarium.
Cultural gems also reside along Gothenburg's canals and waterfront. There's no escaping the city's maritime history and port action at Maritiman, a floating museum full of ships, including a submarine, warships and towboats. Other iconic vehicles can be investigated at the World of Volvo, a shiny new exhibition center.
