What’s on in Gothenburg?

Just a 20-minute walk from the hotel you will find The Garden Society of Gothenburg - one of Europe's best-preserved 19th-century parks. At the other end of town you will find the Botanical Garden, a world-class botanical garden with over 16,000 species to admire.

Slottsskogen is one of Gothenburg's largest, oldest city parks. There are large lawns for picnics and many walking paths for exercise. The park is open all year round, and also includes one of Sweden's oldest zoos - free to visit.

Across the street is our nearest neighbour, Liseberg amusement park , a park for everyone. The summer with about 40 attractions as well as international artists on the big stage. Autumn with gasping Halloween celebrations with hair-raising horror houses and childish mischief and sweets. The winter with Christmas at Liseberg when the park turns Liseberg into a glittering Christmas story. Buy Christmas gifts among the market stalls in the light of millions of Christmas lights.

In the mood for shopping? Local clothing brands, second-hand and interior design are just a small part of everything you will find during a shopping trip in Gothenburg. Start at Avenyn just a couple of minutes walk from Gothia Towers and then stroll between small shops, international chains and large department stores.

We also want to recommend Hede Fashion Outlet, 20 minutes by commuter train from Liseberg station to Kungsbacka Hede.  Bargain up to 70% cheaper clothes and shoes.

Visit one of Gothenburg's restaurants. The delicacies of the sea taste extra good in the port city of Gothenburg. World-class seafood, innovative cuisine, Michelin stars and fine ingrediens from a living agricultural landscape.

We also want to recommend our top restaurant Heaven 23 which you will find at the top of tower 1 at Gothia Towers. Enjoy fantastic views of the city in the sky bar, good cocktails, delicious dinners and why not try our legendary King Size prawn sandwich? If you just want to drop-in for a glass of wine, visit our  cheese & wine bar West Coast located in the lobby.

Along the coast, the archipelago spreads out like a string of pearls of islands. Just a short trip from central Gothenburg, you can stroll along picturesque alleys, lovely beaches, in nature reserves and nice walking paths. It is easy to get to the southern archipelago by boat, and the northern archipelago can be visited by car.

Universeum Swedish national Science Discovery Centre, is located across the street from Gothia Towers.

In the summer, there are frequent trips through Gothenburg's canals and harbor. Gothia Towers sells tickets as a complement to your room reservation and at the reception.

Haga is one of Gothenburg's oldest districts with lovely neighborhoods for coffee and shopping. The name comes from the pastures that existed here in the 17th century. Haga is within easy walking distance of the inner city and has car-free streets lined with small cozy cafes and shops tucked away in the Gothenburg-typical governor's houses.

Ullevi is one of the largest arenas in the Nordic region. It is a multi-arena just a short walk from the Gothia Towers used for concerts, football and athletics.
