Gothenburg Scandinavian design by bus and foot (3hrs)
Gothenburg is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city renowned as one of Northern Europe’s leading cities for contemporary culture and events, with a central canal, extensive parks and streets lined with cafes and restaurants; all hallmarks of the Dutch architect who designed the city under orders of the King in 1612. Scandinavian life is marked by a distinctive sense of style. You will notice striking Scandinavian design in buildings, shops, hotels, restaurants and even in the clothes people are wearing.
