Ullevi

To experience the best of Gothenburg’s shopping, stay in Inom Vallgraven, the city’s most central neighbourhood. Here, you’ll find its famous shopping streets like Kungsgatan, Vallgatan, and Södra Larmgatan. It’s also within walking distance to all the main attractions.

Located immediately southeast of Inom Vallgraven, Lorensberg and Heden are the city’s most upscale neighbourhoods. As well as luxury hotels, expect to find trendy bars and eateries, and refined cultural institutes like the Museum of Art and Concert Hall.

The bohemian Haga and Olivedal, meanwhile, are considered to be Gothenburg’s coolest districts. In their cobbled streets lined with historic wood-cladded buildings, you’ll find rustic cafes, small bookstores, Swedish bakeries, and many other quaint establishments.

Johanneberg is not only ideal for families because of its calm residential vibe, but it also has plenty in the way of entertainment too. The Universeum, Museum of World Culture, and Liseberg amusement park are all at your feet, and the city centre is just a short walk away.

With trams running every few minutes throughout central Gothenburg, it is easy to explore the city.
