Gothenburg and West Sweden. It’s a little bit different…

Easily accessible and fast becoming one of Europe’s leading foodie destinations, Gothenburg makes for the perfect getaway. Culture, shopping, nightlife will keep you busy – while the city acts as a starting point for a journey up the “best” West Coast. 

A wondrous archipelago offering something for everyone – from seafood safaris to kayak excursions – you won’t regret a trip to this genuinely unique area of natural splendour. The perfect combination of Scandinavian elegance and sense of adventure. 

Don’t miss:

• A boat trip around Karingon. Darting in between tiny islands, meeting the seals of Seal Island before climbing the old lighthouse on Maseskar.
• Walking or going on a seafood safari when visiting The Weather Islands
  
• Cycling on South Koster Island, this tiny island in the North Sea - home to some sheep, a single shop, and 300 or so permanent residents - is as close to car free as a place can be.
• Hike the Pilgrim Path, a hike through the spectacular Dalsland lakeland scenery
  
• Stay in the 72 hour cabin in Dalsland, a unique night’s sleep, and mesmerising to watch the raindrops on the glass
  
• Fika at Da Matteo, a Gothenburg institution, the coffee shop is one of the originals to bring a different sort of coffee culture to the city. There are a few branches, but in summer you should make a beeline for the one at Vallgatan which has a large outdoor seating area in front of the mural (and there’s a wonderful little secret garden at the back).  
  
• A boat trip with the Paddan boat, this hour-long trip is a lovely introduction to the city and some of its stories.
  
• Go for a swim and sauna in the open air urban swimming pool at Frihamnen Harbour.
