The route continues towards the harbour and former shipyard districts, where you can see another side of this lively coastal city. With commentary in English and Swedish, this guided canal tour is an easy and entertaining way to experience Gothenburg’s highlights in less than an hour. Book your Gothenburg canal boat tour with Stromma and see the city from its most iconic viewpoint.
