Day trips from Gothenburg

Want to see more than the city centre? Here you’ll find day trips from Gothenburg to castles, fortresses, archipelago islands, museums, nature reserves and coastal places that work well for a half-day or full-day outing. Many can be reached by public transport, while others are better suited to a short road trip from Gothenburg.
