Shopping in Gothenburg
Gothenburg affords many exciting opportunities when it comes to shopping, and the city really does have something for everyone. In Gothenburg, you will find everything from luxury bags to second hand shirts, and there are many charming stores specialising in vintage goods. The city is also home to many chains you will be familiar with in Norway, with the key difference being that they are often a little cheaper in Gothenburg.
Accommodation in Gothenburg
If you travel by train to Gothenburg’s central station you arrive in the very heart of the city. From here, a plethora of hotels are within easy reach, ranging from basic and budget options to those that are rather more splendid and pricy. Nevertheless, it is guaranteed to be straightforward to get from the station in Gothenburg to the hotel that best suits your budget.
Things to do in Gothenburg
Gothenburg offers an almost infinite number of things to do, whether you are travelling with the family, on a romantic getaway or with your friends. The popular amusement park Liseberg really needs no introduction, but it is in itself cause to travel to Gothenburg. If you are a sports fan, then you should take in one of the city’s many football and ice hockey teams, including GAIS, IFK Gothenburg, BK Häcken or Frölunda HC.
Beyond Gothenburg city centre
If you love cars then it is well worth taking a trip to the island of Hisingen where Volvo is headquartered. Here you can visit the brand’s experience centre and take the opportunity to test drive some of Volvo’s latest models on a custom-laid track. An excursion to Gothenburg’s stunning archipelago is also to be recommended, even more so during the summer.
Wonderful Gothenburg
Norwegians thrive in Gothenburg and Gothenburgers are generally big fans of Norwegians. So it is perhaps no surprise that many return to this incredible Swedish city after their first visit. Taking the train to Gothenburg for the weekend is most definitely recommended if you have not done it yet. Cheap train tickets can be found quickly and easily via the Vy app or right here at vy.no.
