Why Visit Gothenburg?

Sweden’s second-largest city is enjoying a modern revival as tourism continues to boom; tourists can find fine dining, impressive art collections, beautiful parks, Neoclassical architecture, and more in this northern urban centre. Visitors can also explore the nearby archipelago, the nearest island being just 20 minutes’ travel time from town. Bustling with festivals and events year round, whenever you choose to travel you’re likely to encounter activities to suit all tastes. For example food and drink festivals, science fairs, large-scale musical festivals, sporting events, Pride celebrations, and book fairs, just to name a few.
Temperatures during the peak season (May to September) are similar to the UK summer, but with the sun setting later in the day visitors can enjoy longer evenings outdoors. While the winters in the northern part of the country can reach bitterly cold temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius, Gothenburg enjoys a milder season with temperatures averaging a relatively balmy 0 degrees Celsius, making it accessible year-round and allowing visitors to experience Swedish culture throughout the year.

Don't Forget Before you Fly

Visas are not needed by British citizens to travel to Sweden. Your passport only needs to be valid for the length of your stay, and you may stop for up to 3 months as a visitor. Sweden does not use the euro but rather the Swedish krona (SEK), and ATMs and currency exchange offices are widely available and accept most international credit cards. Indeed, electronic payments are increasingly common, and some businesses may even refuse cash. In addition to medical and travel insurance, British travellers are entitled to state medical treatment if carrying a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
