2Gothenburg, Sweden
While Stockholm gets much of the attention when it comes to Swedish tourism, Gothenburg offers a more laid-back, coastal alternative that’s perfect for a summer getaway. Located on Sweden’s west coast, Gothenburg boasts a charming blend of maritime history, stunning archipelago islands, and a thriving food scene.
In the summer, Gothenburg comes alive with festivals, outdoor dining, and waterfront activities. The city’s many parks and green spaces, like the lush Slottsskogen and the Botanical Garden, provide a peaceful escape from the urban hustle. Gothenburg is also a top destination for foodies, especially seafood lovers. The Feskekôrka (Fish Church) is a famous indoor fish market where you can sample some of the freshest fish and seafood in Scandinavia.
