Goteborg Landvetter Airport car rental - Travel Guide |
 |
Although GOTHENBURG is Scandinavia's largest port, shipbuilding has long since taken a back seat to ferry arrivals - those from Newcastle alongside the dock-strewn river, and those from Denmark right in the centre of the port and shipyards. Beyond the shipyards, Gothenburg is the prettiest of Sweden's cities, with broad avenues split and ringed by an elegant seventeenth-century, Dutch-designed canal system.
The City
King Gustav II Adolf, looking for western trade, founded Gothenburg in the early seventeenth century as a response to the high tolls charged by the Danes for using the narrow sound between the two countries. As a Calvinist and businessman, Gustav much admired Dutch merchants, inviting them to trade and lives in Gothenburg and it's their influence that shaped the city, parts of which have an oddly Dutch feel. The area defined by the central canal represents what's left of old Gothenburg, centering on Gustav Adolfs Torg, a windswept square flanked by the nineteenth-century Börshuset (Exchange Building) and the fine Rådhus, originally built in 1672. Around the corner, the Kronhuset, off Kronhusgatan, built in 1643, is a typical seventeenth-century Dutch construction, and looks like the backdrop to a Vermeer. The cobbled courtyard outside is flanked by the mid-eighteenth-century Kronhusbodarna, now togged up as period craft shops selling sweets and souvenirs.
The Stads museum, Norra Hamngatan 12, housed in the eighteenth-century headquarters of the East India Company, has been restored and now incorporates a rich collection of archeological, cultural and industrial exhibits. Close by, the Maritima Centrum allows you to clamber aboard a destroyer and submarine moored at the quayside. It is worth coming down here just to look at the shipyards beyond, like a rusting Meccano set put into sharp perspective by the striking Opera House, a graceful and imaginative ship-like structure.
Crossing the canal from Kungsportsplatsen and running all the way up to Götaplatsen, Kungsportsavenyn is Gothenburg's showiest thoroughfare. Known simply as Avenyn, this wide strip was once flanked by private houses fronted by gardens and is now lined with overpriced, posey yet popular pavement restaurants and brasseries. About halfway down, the excellent Röhsska Museum of Arts and Crafts at Vasagatan celebrates Swedish design through the ages, among other things. At the top end, Götaplatsen is the modern cultural centre of Gothenburg, home to a concert hall, theatre and Art Museum, whose enormous collections include a good selection of Impressionist paintings, Pop Art and - most impressively - superb Swedish work in the Furstenburg galleries on the sixth floor. Just a few minutes' walk to the west from Avenyn, the old working-class district of Haga is now a picturesque area of gentrified chic with plenty of daytime cafés and boutiques, while Linnégatan, a few steps further, is a more charismatic and cosmopolitan version of Avenyn with the most diverse places to eat, drink and stroll. Just five minutes' walk southeast of Götaplatsen, on the edge of the centre is Liseberg a surprisingly aesthetic amusement park with some high-profile rides and acres of gardens, restaurants and fast food. In the opposite direction, great views of the harbor and surrounding area can be had from the excursion boats that run from Lilla Bommen to the Nya Elfsborg Fortress, a seventeenth-century island defense guarding the harbor entrance whose surviving buildings have been turned into a museum and café. |
