Travel and transport agencies Gothenburg

This is the best way to park in Gothenburg. You will probably not find cheaper and the access to the city center is very easy. Just hop on a tram (the 5, 6 or 11) and get off at the stop just after crossing the bridge and you'll be in the city centre in 7-9 minutes. If you are in Gothenburg with your car or have rented one, this is the cheapest way to park close to the centre at any time of the day or night and put your car in a safe and quiet place.

If you want to arrive in Gothenburg or leave the city by ferry, Stena Line is the company for you. This major ferry operator offers 21 routes throughout Scandinavia. In Gothenburg, the company has two terminals: one for Denmark (to the city of Frederikshavn), the other for Germany (to Kiel). This is a good alternative for those who want to go to Sweden without flying! The website is also available in French, which can make booking easier.

Gothenburg Central Station is the hub of the city's rail and bus traffic. It is the hub of the city's rail and bus traffic, and is the place to catch trains to other cities and towns in Sweden. Many tram lines run from the station, and it is also the departure point for many buses that run both short and long distances. For information on fares and timetables, or to make a reservation, visit the SJ website.

Säve Airport is an international airport located 14 km from the center of Gothenburg, in Hisingen. It opened in 1940 as a military airbase. The military wing closed in 1969, and in 1976 the airport opened to civilians and general aviation. In 1984, work was carried out and the airport's runway was extended by 400 meters. Until 2015, low cost companies operated from this airport (Ryanair, Wizzair...). Although now closed, the airport is still open to smaller aircraft.

It is the country's second largest airport, used for all international and scheduled flights. Göteborg Landvetter Airport is about 25 km from the center of Göteborg and 40 km from Borås. If you are coming from Oslo, Malmö, Karlstad or Stockholm, follow the signs to Göteborg Landvetter Airport as you approach Göteborg. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get from the center of Gothenburg to the airport, and there are shuttle buses to make the trip.

The streetcar network serves all the strategic places in the center of the city, but also in the suburbs. It is very easy to find your way around, and using this means of transport is also a pleasant way to discover the city. At each stop, a detailed list of subsequent stops is displayed. This makes it very easy to navigate even if you don't speak Swedish and are in a hurry. The public buses, which are blue in color, complete the system and are just as efficient.

This is the most convenient and economical way to get to the city from the airport and vice versa. The shuttle buses from Gothenburg to Landvetter Airport leave from Nils Ericson Terminalen with stops at Kungsportplatsen, Berzeliigatan and Korsvägen. All Flygbussarna have free wifi on board and run on biofuel. If you buy your ticket online, you will receive a discount of 10 SEK on average.

The open-air parking lots at Heden and the bus terminal are just 2 minutes away from Kungsports Avenyn and there are always spaces available! There are also several parking lots around the center, including Evenemang near Liseberg Park or along the canal, just across from the Haga district. In Gothenburg, all parking meters in on-street parking lots are marked TAXA, followed by the numbers 1-7, 22 or the letter A. You can pay by credit card at all parking meters in the city. It is even possible to pay via the Parkering Göteborg app.

Like most large European cities, Gothenburg has its own automatic rental system for "ready-to-ride" bicycles. As the on-demand rate is not the most advantageous, it is probably smarter to take out a one-month subscription that will quickly pay for itself if you plan to make at least 5 trips by bike. Be sure to download the Nextbike by TIER app, which will allow you to borrow your bikes and get an overview of all the stations in the city.

Gothenburg being a big city, it is quite easy to find cabs, and it is a convenient solution when you come back late at night or when you want to go to a specific place quickly. You can also use the cab company Uber with your smartphone. Here are the two well-established cab companies that we recommend:

Cab Kurir. 6A Åbäcksgatan, ✆ +46 31 27 27 27, www.taxikurir.se, [email protected]

Cab Göteborg. 19 Gustaf Dalénsgatan, ✆ +46 31 65 00 00, www.taxigoteborg.se, [email protected]

Most of these stores offer Internet connections.

The Göteborg City Library, located in Götaplatsen, is a must for book lovers. The library also offers a blog where visitors can find book, music and film recommendations. In addition, it regularly organizes events and lectures for interested readers. It should be noted that the library recently cancelled the rental of its conference room to the Cui Bono association due to concerns about public order and Karl-Olov Arnstberg's online publications, which are not in line with the City of Gothenburg's mission to protect national minorities.
