The street Vasagatan is stretching through the neighbourhood from Avenyn to Haga. The cityscape here is made up mostly from stone houses dating back to around 1870 to 1920. In the many cafés you are likely to meet students from Gothenburg University and other schools in the area, the School of Business, Economics and Law are one of the local campuses found here.

Kungsportsavenyen – usually shortened to Avenyn – is Gothenburg’s most well-known street and a place where many things come together: restaurants and bars, theatres and concert halls, public gatherings and city life. Locals and visitors move side by side here, whether they’re heading out for dinner, a performance at Gothenburg City Theatre, or a late night out.
