Gothenburg - Sweden's Little London | Travel Guide and History

Gothenburg is sometimes called the Little London of Sweden, and in 2023 the city turns 400 years old. Time to celebrate - and to check out everything that Sweden's second biggest city has to offer!

In this video I give a history to the city, and I also dive into why the 400 year celebration is all a LIE! But I also explore everything you can see and do when you're visiting. Aside from scenic views and quirky details that can be found all over town, I also check out the following places:

- The parade street Avenyn
- Götaplatsen, with the Poseidon statue, the Museum of Art and the Gothenburg Art Gallery
- Feskekôrka, the strange sounding fish market from the 19th century
- Parts of the island of Hisingen, with for example Lindholmen
- A few bars and pubs, such as Lilla London, Rockbaren and the Steampunk Bar
- Universeum, Gothia Towers and Liseberg - the biggest amusement park in the Nordics
- The infamous crossing Korsvägen
- The public sauna and public swimming pool called Pöl Harbour
- The Museum of Natural History
- Aeroseum, an amazing air force museum
- Haga, the oldest district of Gothenburg, where you can buy a gigantic cinnamon bun called Hagabullen
- Skansen Kronan, a defensive fortification from the 1600s
- The Botanical Gardens that turn 100 years old in 2023
- Slottsskogen, the biggest and oldest park in Gothenburg
- The Play Shoreline (Spela Shoreline) monument
- Trädgårdsföreningen, the Horticultural Society in the city center
- And finally, a quick look at Paddan, a very touristy boat ride along the city canals

Join me in this exploration of everything Gothenburg has to offer. It may not be as cool as Stockholm...but it's not too shabby at all ;)

Recently went to Sweden a few weeks ago, and I immediately fell in love with Göteborg, surprisingly more than Stockholm. Plus, the west coast archipelago islands there were so tranquil. Tack så mycket for uploading these and making me want to go back again soon! Can't wait to see more of your adventures!

Very nice getting a bit longer-than-usual video about a place I don't know too much about. I know you do a lot of preparation for your videos, but I'm still always amazed by how smooth your delivery is. And, of course, punctuating points with your sense of humor! 😂

You are one of the best tour guides on Youtube.... Thank you for your insightful views of Swedish culture.
I love Sweden.

Most people included me when taking drivers license, the drive instructor always made everyone drive thrue Korsvägen to see if we could handle cars, busses, trams and people at the same time, It was hell not because all of the traffic but you had the driving instructor next to you taking notes, In the end i got my licenses in just one try.
