May 2014 Itinerary Link
Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden with a population of 570,000. We got there on the ferry from Denmark’s Frederikshavn. What’s interesting about the 4-hour boat ride was there was a huge duty-free shop onboard, and people were buying cases of beer to bring back to Sweden. Apparently, Swedes make beer-runs like this to save money.
Gothenburg seemed like a nice town filled with young crowds who attend area universities. We walked around and sat at a cafe to be part of the local scene. We basically had one afternoon and evening there, and we did not feel ambitious enough to try to do much. Here’s what we missed according to a New York Times article.
