February 13, 2022 Kelli Reichel

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.

City Museum (Goteborgs Stadsmuseum)

Reviewed By sflynn8 - Limerick, Ireland

This is a lovely place to spend a couple of hors and learn about Swedish history and culture. The images of the Viking ship are very good as is the area devoted to Gothenburg and how it evolved over the centuries. It is very reasonable to enter and well worth a visit.

I enjoyed my stay here. The foundation has its own history that is well worth getting to know in order to understand the collection and probably often the special exhibitions and its background. Personnel was helpful, orientation was clear, the didactics are modern but pleasingly decent. I was happy to have chosen the «Årtsbiljet 2019» that allowed me to visit several museums in Gothenburg at low costs (valid until the end of the year).
