In the eastern center, you reside at Spar Hotel Gårda, close to Gothenburg Central Station and just a stone’s throw away from the Evenemangsstråket (Event Strip) with the Nordic’s most classic concert arena: Ullevi, and its neighbor Scandinavium — along with Sweden’s most popular attraction: Liseberg. Within a pleasant walking distance, you have the pleasure of discovering one of Gothenburg’s new and well-renowned restaurant areas: Odinsplatsen. Continue a bit further, and you’ll arrive at Göteborgs Trädgårdsförening (Gothenburg’s Garden Society) — one of Europe’s best-preserved 19th-century parks, which serves as a backdrop to the city’s main boulevard: Kungsportsavenyn, better known as ‘Avenyn’. At the top stands Carl Milles’ masterpiece: Poseidon, overlooking Götaplatsen in the heart of the city’s cultural hub, featuring the Art Museum, Concert Hall, City Theater, Art Hall, City Library, and Röhska Museum. At the other end of Avenyn, you’ll find world-class shopping with department stores like NK and Femmanhuset in Nordstan. Here, you’ll also discover the vibrant and colorful The Grand Market Hall from 1889.
In the western center, you stay at Spar Hotel Majorna in the historic district of the same name, referred to by the locals as the city within the city. Here, you can quickly stroll to the trendy and pub-filled Stigbergstorget (where you’ll also find the well-preserved Gatenhielmska cultural reserve) and the legendary Andra Långgatan and Järntorget — the gateway to Linnéstaden and Haga. One of the country’s oldest zoos is located in Slottsskogen, established in 1874, where Sweden’s largest music festival, Way Out West, is held annually. But the most quintessentially Gothenburg experience is just a stone’s throw away: Gothenburg’s fish harbor, where every morning you can witness lively fish auctions where the ocean’s delicacies are bid for and delivered to, among other places, the world-renowned Feskekôrka (The Fish church). If you wish to broaden your horizons, it’s also in the harbor where you’ll find the two Stena Line terminals: the Denmark Terminal and the Germany Terminal.
