The Amerikakajen cruise terminal puts you close to the centre, and a short walk takes you to FeskekΓ΄rka, an indoor fish market inside a building that looks like a Gothic church. The stalls sell shrimp, oysters, and smoked fish, and there's a small restaurant upstairs. Haga, the oldest neighbourhood, has cobblestone streets lined with cafΓ©s that serve Hagabullen, the local oversized cinnamon bun. A Paddan canal boat tour runs through the city's waterways, passing old ships and houseboats. Liseberg, Scandinavia's biggest amusement park, is nearby if you're travelling with kids or just want a ride. The Gothenburg Museum of Art holds a solid Nordic collection. Trams run frequently and cover most of the city, and the Southern Archipelago is reachable by public ferry for a half-day island trip. Try a shrimp sandwich before you leave. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** SEK (Swedish Krona) - **Language:** Swedish - **Timezone:** Europe/Stockholm (UTC+1) - **Tipping:** Service included; not expected ## Location Coordinates: 57.7123, 11.9635 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Gothenburg/@57.71231,11.96347,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Gothenburg&ll=57.71231,11.96347&z=13) ## Things to Do in Gothenburg Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~9h port call.
