The parade street Avenyn is an attraction in itself, with its constantly vibrant pulse, outdoor restaurants, nightclubs and lots of people. In Sweden’s largest indoor shopping centre, Nordstan, you’ll find the latest fashions and specialist stores.

The Art Museum is famous for its collection of Nordic art and the Gothenburg Opera House gives both classical and modern performances. Liseberg amusement park is the most visited attraction in Scandinavia.
