Day Trips
Gothenburg has good connections to exciting nearby areas. All areas offer something extra and a day trip to a castle, a beautiful natural reserve or a museum is pleasant and easy to access. Here is a list of some places that are definitely worth a visit.
Gothenburg's Archipelago
Along the coastline outside of Gothenburg, the archipelago spreads out like a string of islands. Just a short journey from central Gothenburg, you can stroll among picturesque alleys, lovely beaches, in nature reserves and along fine walking paths. Gothenburg's archipelago with its harbours, bays, islands, and the wonderful population is a unique experience. In addition, there are plenty of activities where seal safaris, fishing trips, exciting food experiences, swimming and boat trips are just a few.

One of the best ways to see Gothenburg is to visit one of the many lookouts found around town. For example the mountain Ramberget at Hisingen island, 87 metres above sea level, with excellent views all the way to the archipelago.
