Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

WHAT YOU VISIT
Gothenburg Coach Tour
Affectionately called the "biggest small town in Sweden," the country's second largest city is home to verdant parks, sprawling canals, and plenty of architectural delights. Among the sights you'll see include Gustav Adolf Square, home to a statue of founding father King Adolf II standing proudly in front of Gothenburg City Hall; picturesque Slottskogen Park; the Poseidon fountain in Götaplatsen Square and more.

Paddan Boat Cruise
Step off the coach and step onto the paddan boat and watch the world go by as the salty scents from the North Sea fills the air. Sit back and relax as your boat gently glides past 17th and 18th century houses and bridges like the Osthyveln (nicknamed the cheese slicer.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
On your way to the harbor you'll stop at Masthugg Church. Although it has the appearance of a medieval church, it was actually built in 1914 and its interior's pegged timber ceiling is reminiscent of ancient stave churches from the Viking Age. Outside, you have picture-perfect views of Gothenburg and the sea beyond.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you make your way through a cityscape of bustling streets and freeways, you may get the feeling that you're in Amsterdam. Founded in 1621, Gothenburg was heavily influenced by the Dutch who were contracted by King Gustav Adolf II to migrate here. Using their skills and talents, they designed Gothenburg to resemble towns back home in the Netherlands.

Special Notes:

Masthuggs Church will only be seen from the outside. There is an approximately 200 metres uphill walk to Masthuggs Church. The tour order may vary.
