Gothenburg

The city of Gothenburg is teeming with youthful Swedish energy. It’s a place where the next big thing in art can be found at modern galleries like Göteborgs Konsthall or the graffiti-covered Röda Sten—and the next big thing in food can be easily found in the fresh-forward menus at cafés and restaurants like Thörnströms Kok.

The area also boasts the stunning Maritiman museum of floating ships and the interactive Universeum children’s museum, where you can walk amongst the dinosaurs or through a very realistic rainforest—both are great for families.
