Gothenburg, Sweden

Description.

Sweden's second largest city - and the largest port in Scandinavia - was founded by King Gustavus Adolphus in 1621 at the mouth of the Göta River. Gustavus Adolphus hired Dutch architects and builders to lay out Gothenburg, so it should come as no surprise that the city is laced with a network of gracious canals lined with elegant buildings. Like all great seaports, Gothenburg is a cosmopolitan city with a wealth of cultural attractions, from its ancient University to its beloved pleasure garden at Liseberg Amusement Park. The city is also the gateway to the archipelagoes and picturesque fishing villages of Sweden's West Coast - the country's favorite vacation playground. Gothenburg's cultural hub is the Götaplatsen. Here Carl Milles' dramatic bronze figure of Poseidon stands watch over the central square, home to the city's Museum of fine Arts, Concert Hall, Municipal Theatre and City Library.

Witness the beauty of Gothenburg from a waterside perspective on a unique paddan boat. A Swedish word meaning "toad," paddans leisurely travel down quiet canals, under low bridges and along picturesque streets.

This small island's fame as a major herring producer dates back 600 years. Even today, salting houses and canneries dot the tiny harbor while the town welcomes visitors with charming restaurants and breathtaking scenery.
