The Paddan Boats

Find a cheap holiday in Sweden at Risskov and get away on adventures in Gothenburg. A great way to experience the city is to take a guided tour on the Paddan boats and see Gothenburg from the water. The Paddan boats are hop-on-hop-off boats that take you around the canal system and harbour. The boats are available in the warmer seasons, but there are also special departures around Christmas.

Gothenburg Art Museum

It doesn't hurt to start by saying that Gothenburg Art Museum has three stars in the Michelin Guide. The museum houses perhaps the world's finest collection of National Romantic art signed in the 19th century by Scandinavians including Edvard Munch, Anders Zorn, P. S. Krøyer and Carl Larsson.

Gothenburg Art Museum is located on Götaplatsen, the city's high-culture centre, just a stone's throw from the theatre and concert hall where Sweden's national orchestra is based.

Feskekörka

'Feskekörka' or 'The Fish Kitchen' opened on 1 November 1874 and was designed by Victor von Gegerfelt, who was also Gothenburg's former city architect. The building is very distinctive with its arched windows and a structure that stands without partitions or supports. The building was also considered quite futuristic for its time, back in the late 19th century. The fish auction was moved from Feskekörka in 1910 to the new fishing harbour and since then the Fish Kitchen has developed into Gothenburg's leading place for the sale of seafood. Today, Feskekörka is one of Gothenburg's most famous brands and a well-visited tourist attraction. Find cheap travel at Risskov and try a family self-drive holiday in Gothenburg, Sweden.
