Enjoy a wonderful spa together
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to treat yourself to a little everyday luxury. To add a touch of luxury to your life, a romantic activity together can be just the thing. A day at the spa can never go wrong, and in Gothenburg you’ll find everything from the historic Hagabadet, the luxurious Upper House Spa or the lovely resort Sankt Jörgen Park.
Get a taste of the West Coast winter wonder idyll on a tour of the archipelago with Kastor Boat Trips, which departs from Hönö Klåva in the northern archipelago.
Treat yourself to a refreshing winter bath
In the southern archipelago, at the picturesque hotel Kajkanten Vrångö, they offer Kajkanten’s Cold bath package, which includes, among other things, a wood-burning sauna, hot tub, sea bathing on Kajkanten’s floating sauna, lodging in a cosy boathouse, and seafood box delivered directly from Hamnkrogen Lotsen. In other words, a true West Coast Valentine’s Day experience!
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about roses and chocolate. For those who are less keen on classic romantic activities and more interested in insightful cultural experiences, Gothenburg Museums is showing many interesting exhibitions right now. At The Röhsska Museum, you can see Design Stories, which takes up an entire floor and shows design icons, unique crafts and fashion from the last 150 years.
If you’d rather settle down in a salon for a full evening of culture, check out the Göteborg Opera or Gothenburg City Theatre’s calendars for opera, dance or musical performances. Right now, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is being shown at the Gothenburg Opera.
Är ni mer intresserade av att se ett gig ihop så spelar ikonen Kim Wilde, som är på Sverigebesök, på Trädgår’n den 14 februari.
If you are more of a show person, there is the show Feelings – Emotion Through Music at Park Lane, which takes you to a world of emotions and passion where every note and taste tells a story. If you are instead eager to explore Gothenburg’s beautiful archipelago in combination with a wonderful show, we suggest a full evening aboard the M/S Trubaduren, where the delights of the sea meet sparkling entertainment and breathtaking nature.
Enjoy a candlelit dinner or your favourite wine
Food and love go together, it’s a no-brainer, so why not visit one of the many great restaurants in Gothenburg this Valentine’s Day? Indulge in a three-course meal at a gourmet restaurant or grab a glass of wine and a snack at one of the city’s cosy wine bars.
