A shopper’s dream destination - Gothenburg

Gothenburg is a pleasant shopping city with most shops and department stores located within convenient walking distance, in the city centre.

If shopping is your bag then you should come to the maritime city of Gothenburg and sample its wares. The pride of Sweden’s west coast is big enough to make you feel that you are in a major international destination, but small enough (no bad thing when you’re doing a bit of ‘speed shopping’) that you can do it all on foot, or take a short tram ride between the shopping districts.

Also, Gothenburg has Michelin star-rated restaurants and quality eateries aplenty – so there’s no excuse for not eating well while on a shopping expedition.

If we deal with the geography of Gothenburg’s main shopping districts first, they are; Nordstan, Innerstaden and Avenyn.

How to get around and money
Gothenburg is a breeze to get around in. The distances between all the major shopping areas are short and if you get tired there is always the tram. You may not know that the Swedish crown is rather cheap these days, especially when compared with the Euro. Just another great reason to come to Gothenburg and enjoy a shopping spree.

Opening hours
10.00 am – 18.00 on weekdays and Saturdays, and most big stores in Gothenburg are open on Sundays.
