Right PH,

Currently sitting on a Sun-Air flight in Manchester awaiting the luggage of a sick passenger to be removed before we can fly to Gothenburg, a very last minute trip with the wife to use some air miles...

Can anyone recommend things to do over the next 3 days? We're on the Sunday night flight home, staying centrally (I think!) and luckily have some European Data allowance so I can check on the thread whilst away...

In terms of preparation, we've done none really. Just going to see what happens and what we find...

So, please suggest away, daytime, night time and resturant suggestions all welcome!

Cheers,




sjg

Natural History Museum is pretty good (for the whale if nothing else), and next to the botanical gardens which are good for a wander around.

Skansen Kronan (fort) is on top of a big hill and has great views over Gothenburg.

Plenty of other art galleries and museums too.

You may well find the same as we did when we went October before last (it was tacked on the end of a work trip) - once it gets cold lots of the attractions and nightlife just stop for the winter. Swedes tend to really make the most of their summers, but spend their winters tucked up at home.
