Discover Gothenburg - Private Walking Tour

The bishop of the Church of Sweden's Gothenburg diocese resides in Gothenburg Cathedral. This cathedral marks the third time the site has hosted a place of worship. It was constructed in 1815 and features a classical design. The original Gustavi church was erected in 1633 and was given its name in honor of King Gustav II Adolf.

Kungsportshuset

Kungsportsplatsen or King's Gate Place is located in the heart of Gothenburg. The city gate served as the primary entry to the walled settlement, which was and remains enclosed by a moat.

The Garden Society (Tradgardsforeningen)

Located in the heart of Gothenburg, the Garden Society of Gothenburg is a park and horticultural garden. Adjacent to Kungsportsavenyen, it is a convenient location. In 1842, at the urging of amateur botanist Henric Elof von Normann, King Carl XIV Johan established the park.

Avenyn was modeled after well-established formal European streets like the Champs-Élysées in Paris and the Ringstraße in Vienna when it was planned in the middle of the 19th century as the first middle-class residential zone beyond the bastions of the fortified center of the city. The design was the winner of a global contest for urban planners.

Gotaplatsen

One of the most well-known spots in Gothenburg, Götaplatsen was first built in 1923. The square features the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the City Theatre, and the Concert Hall, as well as the iconic Poseidon statue created by Carl Milles. This implies that whenever you go to Götaplatsen, there will be much more for you to discover.
