What can i say - it is hard to review public transportation…read more I think it is perfect to use Vasttrafik when going places. It is fast and easy. I only use it in the city and to neighbouring communities. They make announcements in speakers when traffic is delayed. Cash is not accepted on buses - only bank cards or prepaid bus cards. On trams you can buy tickets in cash machines (not sure if this goes with ALL trams).

Summertime this square comes to life. Plenty of outdoor seating, pubs/bars mostly. Hardly any real…read morecoffee shops at all, but still places to grab a coffee of course! The best seats gives fun people-watching! This is a buzy square so be early on a sunny day to get a good seat. Bishops Arms, Dubliner and Jerntorgets Brygghus are the three large pubs that houses here. BA being my favorite of the three. Good selection of beer at all three. At Järntorget there are also four or five fast food places - Burger King being one of them but also a few kebab joints. Järngrillen being my favorite (for kebab roll). If you want to save the money for one or two extra beers, have a meal at any of the fast fooders before getting seated for the beer and people-watching. Järntorget is also a hub for local transportation. From here you can get in any direction of the city and outskirts. The rent bikes "Hyr & Ställ" has a station a bit north of the actual square, this goes also for the nearest ATM. A short walk.

Grönsakstorget isn't just a boring tram and bus junction. Around here you can find a wide range of…read moreshopping, coffee and restaurants. This is also where Pedagogen is located - one of the institutes of Gothenburg University. There is a café inside but it is not any cheaper as you could think being a students' café. Best selection is around Magasinsgatan or along Västra Hamngatan, but don't forget to take any of the side streets. That being said, this is not a very pleasant area for recreation or just strolling as it is traffic and just streets. But since there are no benches for seating it doesn't gather winos or vagrants which often is the case at parks or larger junctions. Just the stairs from Pedagogen full of students. So next time, jump off the tram here and take a walk to find a new favourite shop or restaurant!

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. Stops are clearly indicated once you get around in peace. There is a Pressbyrån kiosk and McDonald's along with a grocery store.

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.

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.
