Sweden’s second-largest city is a breath of fresh air after stopping through pricey Stockholm. The laidback, artsy town on Sweden’s opposite coast serves up inexpensive entertainment options and scenery alongside a plate of the country’s world-famous meatballs.

 

Start your morning with Sweden’s pride and joy: a cup of their coffee with milk. You can forego espressos or lattes as their drip coffee is just as strong.

Next, stroll along the canal or even opt for a boat ride and tour of the canal on one of the Padden Tours. Boats depart two to three times per hour, and prices start at $20.

 

Get lost in the charming Scandinavian city for hardly any money: Colorful buildings, storytelling statues and cobblestone streets are sights to see on their own, free of charge.

To get around the compact city, purchase a Gothenburg City Card and enjoy discounts on public transit, museum entry fees and even in some shops and restaurants. Catch up on Gothenburg’s millennia-old history at the Gothenburg City Museum, or view centuries of beautiful art at the Gothenburg Museum of Art.

 

The inner-city amusement park, Liseberg, is hard to miss upon entering Gothenburg from the airport. Snag daily passes for $10 and take in the city sights while holding on for your life!
