Local knowledge for Gothenburg

Where to stay

Haga and Linné are where most budget travelers end up. Haga sits just west of the center with hostels close to Haga Nygata, and Linné stretches along Linnégatan with tram lines 1 and 6 running straight into town.

Getting around

  • A 24-hour Västtrafik tram pass (a modest sum) covers tram line 11 all the way out to Saltholmen, where you can board the free public ferries into the southern archipelago.
  • Restaurants on Kungsportsavenyen charge a premium for the address. Walk five minutes into Linné or Haga and you will pay noticeably less for the same food.
  • Liseberg sells discounted tickets online, and evening entry after 5pm on weekdays is cheaper than a full day pass if rides are the only reason you are going.

When to go

Beds are easiest to find and cheapest from October through April, aside from the Gothenburg Film Festival week in late January. July and August fill up fast when Liseberg pulls in families and the Gothenburg Culture Festival runs.
