Gastronomic Gothenburg

I have been in Gothenburg this weekend. What a lovely weekend! I am not there so often, should actually go there more often. Cause it is such a nice city.
As you maybe know, Gothenburg is Sweden´s second largest city. It is situated on the west coast by the sea with lovely sea view, restaurants, shops, theatre, opera & museums.

The top 10 things to do in Gothenburg is:

1. Linnea Art Restaurant. Book a table in the bistro and enjoy great food surrounded by lovely art glass. You can order the art glass from the waiter.

2. Boutique Tinna. Classic Svenskt Tenn interior decorations and art. They also have nice necklaces, earrings and watches. I bought a fab lilac watch here, which I adore! It is on Kungsgatan 56, close to NK shopping mall.

3. The restaurant Familjen (the Family). Great food at low prices. A great but not usual combination. It seems to be very crowded every night so y0u need to book a table in advance.

4. Go on a trip in the wheel. Go on a 360 degree trip in the sightseeing wheel and enjoy the view of Gothenburg from 60 m.

5. Wow what a place! Stay at the hotel Avalon. Swim in the pool on the roof and look down on the street, 50 meters down, through the glass floor in the pool. Scary or lovely? It is up to you... We had a nice lunch in the restaurant, the food and service were good.

6. Saluhallen. A fab food hall where you can stroll around and see all diferent food on sale.

7. Liseberg, the fun fair. Go there for a ride in the summer if you have kids or go there in the winter for their lovely and huge christmas market. They have performances with good artists on the stage in the summer and there is also a theatre.

8. Fiskekrogen. (the fish restaurant). This is the famous fish restaurant with top chefs and fresh fish and shell fish. A fish-lovers dream.

9. An evening at the opera is nice for those who loves music. The opera house plays both musicals and operas. Quite unusual.

10. Take a boat trip in the archipelago. Go to Brännö island and stay a night to get the feeling of the life in the archipelago. It is so beautiful and peaceful for your mind to see the sun set or sun down over the sea.
