The
Gate to Scandinavia After
its foundation in 1621, Gothenburg quickly grew into the most important port in
Sweden; through the centuries, large industrial enterprises gathered in the city
by the Göta River. Even though the era of the shipyards has almost gone,
Gothenburg is still, today, the home of large companies as Mölnlycke, Hasselblad
and Volvo. But
Gothenburg is more than cars and industry. Gothenburg is also picturesque tramcars
in the streets, art and culture on Götaplatsen, boat-trips to hundreds of
peaceful archipelago islands at the mouth of the Göta River, and international
sports events in Scandinavium, the mighty sports arena seating no less than 14,500
people. Do not miss out on Liseberg, either; it is one of Scandinavias biggest
tourist attractions with 3 mill. annual visitors. Gothenburg
will suit anybody it is your choice.
