Towering over the Haga neighbourhood, in central Gothenburg's southern part, you can find one of the city's two remaining forts. It was built in 1698 to protect Gothenburg from possible Danish attacks, which fortunately never happened. Although there is no access inside the fort, it's still worth your time since the view over the city is spectacular from the hill where it's beautifully located.
Do & See
Nature is just around the corner in Gothenburg, and distances are short, making it easy to combine bustling city activities with tranquil moments in the archipelago. How about a shopping spree, a visit to a museum or a morning at the large amusement park in Scandinavia, followed by a swim in the sea on the very same day?
