Swimming spots
Gothenburg’s coastal location and its many archipelago islands offer a wide range of swimming spots – from sun-warmed cliffs and jetties to sandy beaches. Be sure to explore the nearby forest lakes as well, and plan a visit in 2026/2027 when the spectacular water park Liseberg Oceana is set to open.
