Fashionable tourists have long flocked to Stockholm, but Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-biggest city isn’t to be overlooked.
Originally an industrial hub, the city has been undergoing something of a revival in recent years. With a thriving cultural scene (Sweden’s biggest music festival, Way Out West, takes place here every summer), the coast on its doorstep to the West and truly excellent fish and fine-dining restaurants springing up like mushrooms, there’s plenty to do — and that’s without considering the excellent second-hand shopping scene.
