This street is the most “hip” street in the city. You can drink the best coffee in Gothenburg from the café da Matteo where they roast the coffee everyday, they also have a sourdough bakery with very good Swedish cinnamonbuns. On the street you will also find a very modern and nice interior, but be aware its very pricey!

This is a perfect spot to visit if you want to take a swim in the sea during a hot day in the summer. You can go here easily by “spårvagn” or by bicycle. In the middle  of July it can be quite crowded, but it you hike a bit you will find a nice spot. Very close to the train station there is a restaurant called “Paradiset”. You can grab a nice pizza or just some beers or wine there.

Slottakogen is a park located in the center of Gothenburg. Here you can walk, go jogging, hang out with your children or just chill in the sun with friends. 

In the beginning of August every year there is a festival “Way out west”. During the years big names like Kanye West, Sia and Frank Ocean have been playing. The festival lasts for 3 days and it's not possible to sleep in tents or likely in the park. Book a hotel and enjoy the festival with many happy, well dressed People! 

Q & A

  • What would you have changed?

    Take the bike instead of spårvagn to saltholmen. In the summer the train can get very crowded and hot!
  • Tips you would give a friend?

    Go to all the places on my Atlasguru. Visit Gothenburg in the summer!! Not in the winter.
  • Transportation Tips?

    Spårvagn works very well
