Gothenburg in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Gothenburg?
Two days covers the city — a canal cruise, Haga and fika — on day one, and an archipelago boat trip on day two, a great mix of the city and the islands.
What should I not miss in 2 days in Gothenburg?
A Paddan canal cruise, the Haga district with a cinnamon bun, the Feskekôrka fish church, the Avenyn, and an archipelago boat trip.
Is the archipelago worth it from Gothenburg?
Yes — the car-free islands, red cottages, rocky shores and fresh sea air of the archipelago make a lovely boat trip and a highlight of a Gothenburg visit, especially in summer.
