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.

Operaen i Göteborg

The modern Gothenburg Opera, located on Lilla Bommen in the harbor, was inaugurated in 1994. Operas, musicals and ballets follow each other. The architect behind the modern creation is Jan Izikowitz and the building is inspired by the world of opera, but also has a maritime feel.

Experiencing Liseberg is a must - regardless of age. Find child-friendly hotels and plan a cheap summer holiday to Gothenburg and surroundings with Risskov.

Haga

Enjoy a holiday by car to Haga, one of the oldest areas in Gothenburg with well-preserved cosy wooden houses, so-called "Landshøvdingehuse". Today Haga is in the centre of Gothenburg, but it all started when the Swedish Queen Kristina ordered the masses to be moved, and so Haga became a fact.

If you just want to walk around the city and sniff the atmosphere, then a visit to Haga is highly recommended. Here you'll find a milliner, the independent toy shop and plenty of antique shops. Buy some homemade marzipan, soap from the archipelago or go on a treasure hunt in the fashion shops that are not to be found in the shopping centres.

The charming neighbourhood is filled with eateries and interesting little shops. The area lies between Vasa and Linné, which meet the main street Haga Nygata at both ends.

Don't forget to take a break, there are plenty of places to eat for lunch or just a coffee.

In December there is also a Christmas market, and in spring and autumn the farm market may be open.

Saltholmen

Saltholmen is a perfect starting point to experience Gothenburg's beautiful archipelago. From the ferry terminal there are countless archipelago ferries to cosy islands such as Styrsjö, Vrången and Brännö. All of the archipelago islands are car-free and are perfect excursion destinations for enjoying the archipelago's beautiful scenery. During the summer months, you can also take a dip in the sea at Aspholmen, Saltholmen's bathing spot. It is easily accessible by tram line 11. Tickets for the archipelago boats are valid with the Western Transport Card and can also be purchased at the ferry terminal.
