Coast & Cruises

First and foremost, Gothenburg is a coastal and maritime city. Its history, atmosphere and character have always been shaped by the sea and seafaring, built as it is around Scandinavia´s largest port. Gothenburg forms the centre of the great West Coast Archipelago seascape, with its thousands of islands, rocks and skerries – a limitless eldorado to explore for all with a passion for salty waters, sea breeze and ocean swells.

The Dalsland Canal

A vast water world known among the most magnificently beautiful in Europe. A paradise of calm and quiet, deep green forests, and, first and foremost, a famous multitude of lakes, rivers and waterways.

Pleasures by the sea

The long, languishing coastlines that lie to the east and west in southern Sweden are dotted with fishing harbours and marinas, coastal towns and beach resorts set against a natural backdrop that is as uniquely Swedish as it is gorgeous. Just off the coast, the islands of Gotland and Öland are waiting to show you their charms.
