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.
There's no shortage of places to eat in Gothenburg, and the city's range of ethnic restaurants is particularly good, reflecting its trading past.
There's an excellent choice of places to drink , some staying open well into the small hours. Avenyn is the focal point of much of night-time Gothenburg. The city's large student community means lots of local live bands . The best place to hear them is at Kompaniet , Kungsgatan, which has a bar on the top floor and dancing downstairs.
