Enjoy a panoramic tour of Gothenburg, Sweden's second-largest city. Founded in 1621 by King Gustav II Adolf, the town rapidly grew into an important trade and maritime city.
Head to the Nordic Romantic-style Masthuggs Church with its 200-foot-tall tower for a magnificent view of Gothenburg and its port. Step inside the church to see its interior.
In the heart of the city, you will pass Götaplatsen Square, with its famous Poseidon Fountain by Carl Milles. Watch for the Museum of Fine Arts, the Concert Hall and the Municipal Theatre.
Avenyn, the main street and the Grand Boulevard of Gothenburg, boasts numerous restaurants, bars and shops.
At Gustav Adolf Square, view the ornate City Hall, the Courthouse, and the Stock Exchange.
Set out on a guided walk through the colorful, artistic Haga District, renowned for its picturesque wooden houses, 19th-century atmosphere, and many cafés. Enjoy some free time to explore on your own before rejoining the coach and traveling back to the pier.
