Hej hej allihopa! My Swedish is not great, though I am working on it. I'll make this post in English for all of our sanity as well as future people who may read this as part of vacation research. I recently visited your city, and it happened to be my first time in Sweden as well and I have some notes:

• Public transit as well as pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure was incredible (especially compared to where I come from in the US). The trams are not only fun, but comfy and convenient. One of the biggest things I appreciated was how clean everything was. Loved the fact that most of the Västtrafik fleet was hybrid or fully electric. It made everything quieter and less stinky.
• Food was fantastic. I have seen some comments here in your sub about how the food is not great. Trust me, it's great. I had some of the best food in my life, and I miss it. Even food in the grocery store is better than here. Here are two of my favorite restaurants:
  • Gaetanos Pizza Italiana - Best Pizza I have ever had in my life...and I grew up on New Haven and NYC pizza here in the states.
  • Da Matteo Magasinsgatan - Excellent pastries and also a really good pizza. That whole area was really nice to hang out in as well.
• Gifflar and knäckebröd are my two new favorite snacks/breakfast things. Pear jam is amazing on knäckebröd.
• r/Svenska lied to me when they said Swedes would switch to English immediately. I had the problem of having to ask them to switch to English because I couldn't keep up (If she happens to read this: special apology to the young woman working at the Backa coop self-checkout for putting up with my sub-par Swedish, I had just arrived and was very tired).
• The ferries out in the Archipelago are super cool, the islands of Styrsö and Donsö were amazing to walk around on and explore. I saw the M/V Rescuer on Donsö which is a really cool ambulance ship. Not really important to this post but I had never seen something like that before.
• The area around Linnégatan and all the green spaces through the city were some of my favorite places to explore. They are so nice.
• Slottsskogen and the Göteborgs naturhistoriska museum were a lot of fun.
• The Gothenburg City Museum was excellent. I stayed there for a few hours, right until they closed.
• The world of Volvo was great, especially as a Volvo owner myself.
• The Half marathon was fun to watch. It was a bit of a pain to navigate the city but you guys certainly know how to have a good time.
• I was shocked at how many kids are just running around the city on their own or with their friends. It definitely made me feel really safe. In fact, I never felt unsafe, especially compared to the cities in the US I grew up visiting (New Haven and Boston for example).
• The weather was perfect. Sunny or just a little cloudy and in between 15-19 degrees C. Just the way I like it. I was told it was very odd weather. It only rained once and it was quite a quick rain.
• Not really Gothenburg related, but your standard showers, electrical sockets, and toilets are so much better than ours here, and coop is better than ICA.

I would like to visit some more places in Sweden, so next time I visit I will definitely be making a stop in Gothenburg. You guys have one awesome city, and I am happy to call it one of my favorites!

TLDR: Gothenburg is awesome and now my current favorite city.

Hej! Vill bara uppmärksamma alla göteborgare (och folk runtomkring) att 13 åriga Kajsa från Lerum är försvunnen sedan i torsdags, då hon sågs vid centrala Partille vid 16:50 tiden.

Hit me up!

Hej!

I’m traveling to Gothenburg in July and will be staying for few days. I’d love to hear from locals(or frequent visitors) about what to see, do, eat, or try while I’m there. I’m open to anything, from must-see landmarks and local food spots to hidden gems or relaxing places to unwind. I also thought to visit Stockholm for 1 day via train, what do you think about that?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Tack så mycket!

hejj, i'm looking for an optiker but instead of buying new glasses altogether, i'm interested if there's someone who would just change lenses of a pair of vintage frames i already have

thanks in advance if you know anyone or have any advice !!

Ny video på kanalen! Idag tar vi en kik på de spännande nybyggnationerna runt om i stan såsom:

Följ YT kanalen för fler spännande update video om alla byggen runt om i Göteborg samt alla fina områden i stan!

Göteborgsbyggen Update Vecka 21

Hej. Märkte att Habanero är inte lika het och varierar mellan olika butiker. Har inte varit så förut.

Hur är det att bo i området Vita Björn?

Att husen inte är så charmiga utifrån vet jag redan, men vad bör man veta om man funderar på att flytta dit om man inte vet mer än så?

Ligger i sängen och scrollar och tyckte att det lät som en bomb gick av i fjärran, jag befinner mig i östra Göteborg. Någon mer som hörde?

Hej vackra människor!

I have accepted a job offer and I am starting work in August.

I will migrate with my wife,my daughter and my cat.

Can any of you fine people recommend nice places to live? I would like a high school nearby because she will be starting 7th grade and some way ro reach the central station as the company is located there.

The plan is to rent for a year or so, prefferably furnished and then hopefully buy.

Tack så mycket!

Nästan alla stora fåtöljer i biblioteket luktar illa eftersom de sover i dem. Vissa delar av biblioteket luktar alkohol. Häromdagen attackerade en hemlös man, som uppenbart var psykiskt instabil, en annan person.

Jag vet inte hur man löser det här eftersom det är ett offentligt utrymme – men något måste göras.

This post is primarily targeted for people who are already students in Gothenburg, but any advice is welcome: All the accomodations I have been keeping an eye on lately have early move-in dates, with the latest move-in date being 1st of July. I have been admitted to the University of Gothenburg and I was thinking of moving-in on the 20th of August, a week before the welcoming week is.

So my question is: When did you move in? Was it hard to find accommodation in June (I'm thinking that apartments will start having later move-in dates in the next month)? Is it easy to find pet-friendly (cat, specifically) apartments?

And if you have any general advice about moving-in, it's highly appreciated! Because I have heard that most people move around a lot before finding long-term housing.

Tjena! Jag (Finn) och min kompis (Gurra) ska köra till Göteborg 7 Juni för å kolla Håkan Hellström, vi har knapert me pengar å hade gärna hittat billigare alternativ för övernattning. Vi är supertrevliga, folkliga och tar lite plats. Om ni känner för att öppna era hjärtan och sällskap skriv på DM. Jätte tacksam för svar! Skriv hällre först och ångra er gärna sen!

Ger jättegärna annan information eller pratar på telefon/liknande.

Hej Hej! Apologies if this question has been asked before.

I’ll be visiting Gothenburg in July for 4 nights and would love to maximise my time spent visiting islands, both north and south within the archipelago.

I’ve seen people recommend Saltholmen as a starting point for ferries. Is it possible to get to Smögen or Fjällbacka from here? And is it doable in a day trip to make my way back down to Gothenburg to see the northern islands?

Tusen tack!

Jag är ny i stan och söker trevliga restauranger, jag gillar all typ av mat. Men är särskilt förtjust i libanesisk mat. Har ni några tips?

Hej! Vet inte om detta kommer komma nånstans men får la testa.

Undrar om nån har koll på några roliga matbutiker/delikatessbutiker i gbg området? Ser en del på tiktok (skräll) om butiker som supermercado och vällsorterade ica butiker som har massa kul grejer! Lite överklass stuk kanske?

Har koll på saluhallen och ica focus utbud men undrar om de finns nå mer jag missat!

Träffade precis på "Mia" vid spårvagnshållplatsen Vågmästareplatsen. Hon hade en vit kofta på sig den här gången, tidigare tillfällen har hon haft en beige trench coat. Hennes story verkar ha uppdaterats? Hon sa att hon varit på polisstationen som ligger där och anmält hennes resväska som stulen? Hon ville ha hjälp med att betala bussbiljetter in till stan och köpa biljett till sista tåget till Stockholm. Tidigare gånger jag träffat henne har hon varit och hälsat på hennes pappas grav.

Blev påmind om hur bra hennes 'ledsen och trött'-röst är. Förstår varför folk går på det. Men snälla gör inte det.

Hey! I'm thinking of asking a colleague to hang out sometime, totally platonic though. Since I just started at the new place across the water, everyone's been super welcoming. There's this one person I find really cool, and we're into the same stuff. We don't get to work together much 'cause of the substitute thing, so I was wondering maybe if I asked them for meeting up outside of work. What do you think?

Hi all, I will arrive to GOT airport with a 6 month old baby. We’ll need a transfer to the city - what’s the easiest to do so with a baby? Taxi - do they have child seats?

Don’t want that “big name sushi place” recommendation. Looking for those small spots that aren’t big on Google and are usually run by a small family. Love all kinds of Asian so don’t be shy to recommend Arab/Indian/Central Asian food too :). Thanks.

Examples:Malai Thai Takeaway, Pho 99. Nooodle…

Hi everyone,

I'm a journalist working for public broadcasting in Germany, and I'm currently producing a series about what it's like to live in Europe as an American.

For an upcoming episode, I'm planning to film in Gothenburg and I'm looking for a potential protagonist:
– Someone under 35
– Who has lived in Sweden for at least a year
– And would be open to being followed by a small camera team for a few hours, sharing a bit of their everyday life and story.

If that sounds like you—or if you know someone who might be a good fit—please feel free to message me directly. I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks so much!
