Interesting places in Gothenburg:Gothenburg (Swedish: Gteborg helpinfo) /joete'bOrj/} is a city and municipality in the province Vstergtland on the west-coast of Sweden.

Gothenburg is also a significant university city in Scandinavia.
- Skansen Kronan is a hilltop fortification, southwest of the city center, built in the 17th century. In the 19th century it served as a prison, and now houses a military museum. Its twin Skansen Lejonet unfortunately finds itself in the middle of a railroad and industrial area but occasional tours are held.
- Close to Skansen Kronan is Haga, a city district with picturesque wooden houses from the 19th century. Don't forget to explore the more bohemian Långgatan streets (Första, Andra, Tredje and Fjärde Långgatan) nearby.
- The indoor Fish Market, called "Feskekôrka" because of the shape of the building, is located by the canal near the harbor.
