April 8, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Celebrate the wonders of the land and sea in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city and home to Liseberg amusement park, the country’s #1 tourist attraction. Visiting Gothenburg Archipelago is a must, as is sampling everything from modern gastronomy to ‘fika’ to the fresh-caught wonders at Feskekörka (Fish Church). Be sure to take in the Gothenburg Museum of Art, stunning contemporary art at Röda Sten Art Centre, and – if you visit in August – the incredible Way Out West music festival.

Delsjon

Reviewed By U9521WKstevenb - Kungalv, Sweden

My 11yo son and I followed Bohusleden to and through Delsjön Nature Reserve. What a beautiful area. There are many seperate trails that can be followed, as well as Bohusleden. The main paths are well marked and even surfaced. There are countless places to sit and ejoy the review around the lake, or to take swim and cool off. There is even a beach area and a wonderful place to fika (Kaffestugan Lyckan). In this same area you will also find bathrooms, fresh water and places to rent a canoe, or go fishing. There are several rest areas around the lake where you can have a picnic. This area is great for anyone who wants to be out for just a short walk, or spend the day.

Southern Goteborg Archipelago

Reviewed By lydiagiannakou

It is the perfect option for a sunny day. the trip to the islands of the southern archipelago is cheap and fast, and there are frequent ferry-trips all day long. Also, you have the option of island-hopping, where you can visit more than one islands in a day. I visited the island of Styrso, which was truly beautiful. If the weather allows it, make sure you carry a swimsuit, because there are also places at the island where you can anjoy a swim.

This was a great tour. It's an underground museum, full of planes and it's mind-blowing reading through the plane assembling details. Learning about world wars and bombs. It's sweetable for all ages. I have enjoyed my vacation

Roda Sten Konsthall

Röda Sten Konsthall is a unique place for contemporary art, located in an old boiler central right beneath the Älvsborgs Bridge. Here you’ll experience exhibitions, workshops, programs and shows, but also food, drinks and music. Outside of the house there’s a legal graffiti wall and from the restaurant you have a stunning view over Göta Älv. Welcome to Röda Sten Konsthall!

It's a bit hard to find but once you are there the great exhibtions as well as the amazing place will soak you in. I also was there for an event which collected many people from Gothenburgs art scene and showed Röda Sten's great standing in the local scene.
