What to do and see in Gothenburg, West Coast: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

July 30, 2021 Malia Yoakum

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.

Separate room is dedicated to Pablo Picasso, which have some of his famous works, for example "Family of acrobats with monkey".

Visited the Volvo museum back in March 2020 - just before Covid got bad. The museum itself is a bit outside Gothenburg so a taxi / Uber may be needed if not driving. The museum is absolutely fascinating, and the collection of both historic and modern Volvo cars is seriously impressive, as well as concept cars. I can highly recommend

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

Reviewed By Bjorn_Lagerquist - Linköping, Sweden

Our family, two adults and two teenagers (15, 16) played "Primakov's bunker" and we REALLY liked it. Neither too hard or too easy - we had never done anything like this before but we solved it well in time before the nasty bomb was set to go off. Authentic atmosphere. Nice and friendly staff. We warmly recommend it and we will come back to play the other games.
