Gothenburg is a fascinating city, the second largest in Sweden and the home of Volvo cars. It is situated on the west coast of Sweden and is considered the most centrally located of the Scandinavian cities, a factor which has helped it grow in importance over the years. It was once owned by the Dutch who planned much of the city along canals like Amsterdam although strangely there was a big influence from the Scots at the time with many of the city’s industries being founded by them.
The city is known for its parks and its love of sports. It’s estimated that there are 20,000 sailing boats in Gothenburg’s marinas and sailing around the nearby archipelago is a favourite pastime.
