Sightseeing

Beautiful island outside Gothenburg with old style Swedish wooden architecture and nice cobbled streets with no cars (Cars are left on the island from where you take the ferry) Restaurants and cafés on the island front side and beautiful bare cliffs and the ocean on the other side. Spend a half day or full day here, take a walk around the island and finish the day with fresh sea food in one of the cosy restaurants. http://www.marstrand.se/en/

Visit Gothenburg from its canals! Gothenburg was built during the 1600s by the Dutch, as they were considered the best at building on marshland. This has given Gothenburg's city centre its famous channels that are distinctly dutch-inspired. The original city was built inside a large zigzag-shaped city wall that came to characterise Gothenburg for centuries to come. The "paddan" boats offer a nice 1 hour sightseeing tour from the canals. http://www.stromma.se/en/gothenburg/sightseeing/sightseeing-by-boat/the-paddan-tour/
