Nice place! There are a lot of places to eat and shop, and the places are all really well labeled…read more There are luggage storage areas (80 kr for a day), and there are showers and bathrooms as well. The station is super convenient, as there are busses and trams right outside. The building looks very medieval and Harry Potter-like, so it's pretty awesome!
Good selection of shops and eating options…read more They've had a face lift recently. It is no longer that hang out for non-travellers anymore. It is actually pretty pleasant waiting for your bus or train here now.

Gothenburg's central bus terminal is the kind of stereotypically European mass transit hub that…read moremakes even us Americans look at with envy and scream out "PORQUE?!" when subjected to atrocities such as the Port Authority Bus Terminal or Penn Station. clean, modern-looking (I wonder: how many Ikea hex-wrenches gave their lives to build this place), and efficiently laid out, Nils Ericson Terminal handles long-range buses coming from other cities. at the time, I was living just outside Oslo; the bus ride itself is a little more than 4 hours. centrally located in the middle of Gothenburg, the rail station is also conveniently a block away. agents are available to help you out if need be; many speak English and they actually speak it well. as is common in many European cities, at the bus terminal you can also pick up a pass for local mass transit with included free admissions or discounts for sightseeing. definitely worth it!

Saltholmen is the departure point for the archipelago south of Göteborg. There's a small beach and…read morean area for swimming. And an old fashioned kro (inn) with food and drink. But it is best known as where you park your car and catch the ferry to the car-free islands where people have their summer homes or rent one. There's a trolley to Saltholmen. Don't forget: it stays light very late in the summer in Sweden. Salthomen was beautiful at 9:30 pm (21:30 for Europeans) as the sun slowly set.
The best "beach" in Gothenburg! You'll find ferries to take you to the island (via your västtrafik…read moreticket) and to the west are some small areas you can sit by the ocean. It's not a typical beach with sand, but there are rocks and ladders you can use to jump from and climb out. There is a huge parking lot but in high season expect to come early to snag a spot, else you'll have to find street parking a few kilometers away. There's only a few restaurants and some are only open during the summer season, so plan accordingly!

Not the coolest area in my opinion, if you are looking for food or drinks…read more Summertime is pretty decent for outdoor seating but not my prefered plaza. If you just want a cheap beer or wine and not care much about the food, just the view - it is decent. This is where buses and trams stop. Where people meet by the copper horse.
This rest stop is actually also a restaurant…read more But if you did bring your own food there are tables by the lake. Beautifully situated. It is a bit tricky to find the road leading here. You can see it from the road but you have to turn long before you see it. Toilets by the restaurant.

Quick access to shops, restaurants and public transportation. The lobby and rooms have so much character-- unlike anything I've seen before. Although we never made it to their restaurant for dinner, the breakfast spread was plentiful and scrumptious. Checking in and out was a breeze. Housekeeping on top of everything.

If you are unfamiliar with this junction, have at least 5-10 minutes to your connection, so you won't panic, run in the wrong direction and miss it - it might be in the other end.

I chose the SPAR Hotel Gårda for our stay in Göteborg as the price wasn't too bad (we paid about…read more$125 a night, and this included breakfast), it looked quite nice from the photos on the website, and it was a fairly central location--not too far from Central Station. While the hotel was clean, quiet, and perfectly adequate, it didn't wow me in reality as much as it did on the website. Despite this, we had a pleasant stay, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This definitely isn't a fancy hotel, nor is it in a pretty part of town, but it's functional, near transit, not terribly expensive, and despite being right beside an ugly highway, we didn't have any problems with traffic noise. No complaints.
The Stromma Archipelago Cruise aboard the St. Erik was a beautiful ride among the Swedish…read morearchipelago islands (both inhabited and not), along with a delicious meal and very well appointed boat! You board the St. Erik at the Lilla Bommen dock, and it takes you first past all the immense boats and nautical ships in the harbor. That was very cool to see the behemoth cranes and giant vessels as we glided by on our little passenger craft. After we rode out of the port for a good distance, lunch was served. It was delectable Swedish meatballs (if you have had "enough" Swedish meatballs and are disappointed in this choice, you're doing Sweden wrong). Pairings were lingonberry sauce for the meatballs (yum!), sweet pickles, and some well seasoned potatoes. We cruised by Älvsborg Fortress and heard some commentary about the fortress's part in Sweden's history. It was built to protect Gothenburg from attacks via the sea, but is now defunct as a fortress and is more of a tourist spot to boat out and view it. You can also go up on the deck to view what you're passing by instead of out of the windows, and I highly recommend that. We were gliding by gorgeous rock formations in the crystal blue water, small uninhabited islands, and small fishing outposts. It does get cold up on the exterior deck outside, so definitely bring a warm sweater or jacket if you're not there in the warmer months. No matter what time of year you go, it's definitely worth the time to do an archipelago tour from Gothenburg, and the ones via Stromma that include lunch are top notch!
We enjoyed a Brunch Cruise with the Carl Michael Bellman on Saturday, November 8, 2017. Even though…read morethe weather was somewhat grey and dismal, the 3 hour cruise to parts of the southern archipelago was great. You can't do much about the weather, but the Brunch served made up for that. The staff were very attentive, making sure everything was to our satisfaction, and clearing the tables of dirty dishes discretely and efficiently. The dishes served were super fresh and very tasty. The selection is not huge, but it definitely covers what you want for a brunch. The desserts were awesome, and we were more than satisfied. The Chef, Lotta Bäckström, and her staff, certainly lived up to our expectations. This is one of the best things you can do if you want to combine seeing part of the Archipelago and have some great food with excellent service. We will definitely be back next summer, hopefully with some sunshine to enhance the cruise.

I loved all the food and we each had about 3 small plates to share and or try. We didn't make reservations and were lucky to get a table, because a large party had just finished and cleared up. I think reservations would be best.
Simply put, one of my fav hotel experiences anywhere…read more This charming boutique hotel fashioned after "sinful Paris of the early 1900's" exudes style, classy comfort & decadence at a non-decadent price. Situated in the heart of Göteborg just a few mins walk from the train station, everything is within reach. For only a few bucks more, we opted for the 'Classic' room which affords a bit more room and includes a delightful nook for lounging. PROS: Breakfast: one of the greatest breakfast buffets you will ever indulge in...plus rooftop patio seating seals the deal! Fragrance: piped in scent helps make the experience unique Shower: greatest water pressure I've ever experienced at a hotel via rain shower head Motion sensor doors: frictionless movement Dimmer lights: sparking intimate evening shenanigans Molton Brown bath products: delicious Slow roll toilet lid: sometimes it's the little things Key deposit: hate keys in your pocket...not to worry, just drop at the front desk for safe keeping Restaurant/bar: perfect spot for a nightcap which includes a whiskey & tequila cart for deeper dives into the spirits CONS: Sewer smell: funky smells occasionally wafted into our room from down below
Styr&Ställ (Rent-A-Bike) is the best service Gothenburg has offered locals and tourists!…read more It is super easy to use. Just grab a bike at one station bike to your next stop and park the bike, For SEK125 you can use the bikes as much as you want from March 1 to Dec 1. As long as you use it only 30 minutes at a time it will cost no extra. If you use it more than 30 minutes you will be extra charged and keeping the bike for many hours will be expensive (fee is SEK40 per 30 min after 1 hour!!), so if you need more than 30 mins to arrived at your station just return the bike along the way and get another free 30 minutes. This you can do for as many times as you want. Just wait a few minutes at each station to check out the bike again. You can also use this service for 3-days - perfect for visitors! Cost is SEK10 for all 3 days! Unfortunately you cannot just go to any station, pay and pick up a bike. You either need to register online for a membership OR go to one of the specified station with credit card possibilities. Even if the rental cost is only SEK10 a deposit of 140 SEK is required. Also your card needs a chip and PIN to be good for payment. The only thing you need to think about is that you can never just bike to the place you are going to, you always need to look for the nearest station. This is a bit difficult for me to remember! Stations are every 400 meters so I never have a problem finding a station, and if one is empty or full it is never far to the next station. The one thing I could wish for, is that the last stations (furthest out) could be beyond Linnégatan. There is an app for free for keeping time and finding stations - perfect! They do not accept AMEX.
