Frequently asked questions
Is 2 days enough for Gothenburg?+
For the highlights, yes: day one for the city centre, Haga and Liseberg, day two for the museums and a trip to the archipelago. With more time, add Maritiman, World of Volvo and a few more neighbourhoods.
How do you get to the archipelago?+
Take tram 11 to Saltholmen, then the ferry from there. The archipelago ferries are part of the public transport network, included with a day ticket or the Gothenburg City Card.
Is the Gothenburg City Card worth it?+
Over two busy days with several admissions and a lot of tram/ferry use, often yes. Note that Liseberg is not included in the free admissions.
