Gothenburg
Gothenburg is a friendly city on the west coast of Sweden. Apart from being a world-class meeting city, you’ll find flourishing gardens, historic sites and buildings, magnificent museums, and cosy cafés and restaurants lining the tram-rattled streets. Scandinavia’s largest amusement park, museums, and other attractions are near the venues. With the seaside location, you will be on a ferry less than 30 minutes from downtown to explore the tranquil archipelago.
