We stayed nearby this area for a couple of days and really felt like walking that day. We parked on Drottninggatan close to the harbourfront. From there we entered the Reserve from the North (near the Marina). As soon as you go around the corner from the Marina you'll be quite surprised. You wouldn't expect such an impressive Reserve so close to a town. It's really just around the corner but feels like another world. The views are amazing and the rocks and rock formations impressive. We brought our dog with (an English Bulldog). She did amazingly well. Just at the very beginning on the Northern Entrance a few steps leading up were too big and steep, so we carried her quick. Later on there's an easy trail leading back to town. Or you can follow a tougher route (sometimes no route at all) leading towards the famous Fyrhuset. We had fun exploring the area as did our dog. Nice views and nature and it was just fun climbing around here. Sometimes taking a break - sitting on some rocks - to take in the amazing landscape. If you only need to park up to 4 hours, then there's a free parking lot just south of the Gullmarsgymnasiet. If you are around this area - even an hour or two away - be sure not to miss out on this terrific Nature Reserve.

Have a genuine experience at the Gothenburg coast line. Kastor Boat Trips take you trough the beautiful west coast archipelago in a charming fishing boat from 1960. We will stop by the local seal colony, troll for mackerel or try out our luck with the shellfish traps. We are comfortable with arranging customized events for larger groups including guiding, meal & accommodation along with our partners. Welcome to beautiful Hönö Island!

On a desert island in an arqipelago of 365 small islets on the North West Coast of Sweden, you will find us, Väderöarnas Värdshus. Pilots and their familys have lived here for many hundred years, helping lost ships find their way, by keeping watch from the Pilots look out on the highest point on the biggest island Storö. In the old houses we have 16 rooms, 7 ensuite, mostly double rooms but also some family rooms. Our restaurant serves local, sometimes self catched sea food and a lot of other delicious courses made by our fantastic Chefs! You can relax in the granite sauna and our salt water hottubs just by the sea, so take a dip, the Scandinavian way! The beatiful, rocky walking path is a must! There is no natural water on the island, so we desalinate our daily use of water from the sea, we have our own power plant and solar cells for energy, we work active with sustainability! We get you safely from the mainland to the island, 45min, in our big Catapult Catamaran boats.
It IS like what it says on the T-shirts of the staff. Breath IN, breath OUT, ENJOY ... The calm atmosphere is well kept even though the guest harbour is more than full of yachts, probably because of the professional staff. Buy a B&B package tour (boat transport included) or just stop by for a lunch using own boat, the choice is yours. A dip in the clean waters and then a beer on the quay-side is a fantastic combo.

Welcome to one of the largest botanical gardens in Northern Europe. The cultivated part occupies 40 acres and holds about 12 000 species. It is a botanical garden with a strong emphasis on horticulture and the garden is divided into different sections linked by lawns with fine trees and shrubs. You will find a kitchen garden, a herb garden, perennial and annual borders, a Japanese glade, a rhododendron valley and a stunning rock garden with a waterfall. In the bulb garden you find species that are not grown anywhere else. The Greenhouses have more than 4 000 species including a large collection of orchids and carnivorous plants. The Eastern Island tree, extinct in its natural locality, is preserved here. The garden is bordering a nature reserve where also the arboretum is located.
A lovely garden with so many different plants and trees in one place. Springtime, summer, autumn, winter, worth visiting all year round. Nice cafe for a rest as well.

It is the perfect option for a sunny day. the trip to the islands of the southern archipelago is cheap and fast, and there are frequent ferry-trips all day long. Also, you have the option of island-hopping, where you can visit more than one islands in a day. I visited the island of Styrso, which was truly beautiful. If the weather allows it, make sure you carry a swimsuit, because there are also places at the island where you can anjoy a swim.

The classic city tour on the Paddan boats shows you the beauty of Gothenburg from a waterside perspective. The tour takes you under 20 bridges and out to the harbour.

This great castle really offers a fantastic "castle-experience". Well preserved, interesting history, good information for visitors (also in English), nice staff, beautiful surroundings, very nice café and also a nice drive to get there.
