A guided walking tour introduces you to Gothenburg. In the heart of the city you will pass Götaplatsen, with its famous Poseidon Fountain by Carl Milles. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Concert Hall and the Municipal Theatre are also located at Götaplatsen.
Watch for the Opera House, and the Maritime Center, as well as the Lisberg Amusement Park.
Next, enjoy some free time in the city before heading out on the water.
The Ockero municipality is spread over 10 islands and is connected to the mainland by a 25-minute ferry ride. Ockero is home to many fishing boats and boathouses. This genuine archipelago environment gets you close to arctic flora, ancient relics and stunning views. Once you're ashore in the archipelago, a panoramic drive will introduce you to the captivating islands of Ockero and Halso.
Step inside the old Ockero Church, dating back to the Middle Ages. At the local folklore center, a snack, including coffee and a pastry, is served before you head to Hono and Foto Islands.
As you cross the bridge between Foto and Hono, take in the extensive and breathtaking view of the archipelago. Once on Hono Island, join your guide for a walking tour through the typical old village, where the fishing huts are nestled among the imposing granite landscape of the archipelago.
You'll return to Gothenburg by ferry afterwards.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Inside church visit(s) may not be possible if religious services are being held. Tour order may vary.
