Gothenburg
Sweden's seafaring west coast — canals, archipelago and oysters.
— Journey —
Jet 1 h 20
Gothenburg, Sweden's second city on the windswept west coast, is the seafaring counterpoint to Stockholm — Dutch-planned canals, the Haga district's wooden houses, and an archipelago of car-free islands reached by tram and ferry. Famed for seafood and for a string of Michelin-starred kitchens, the city draws those who prefer Nordic substance to display. FFGR Finland coordinates oyster-safari boat trips into the Bohuslän coast, Liseberg arrivals, and onward chauffeur connections up the west-coast archipelago to the painted fishing villages of Smögen and Marstrand.
