Itinerary
Our meeting place in Lilla Bommen is just next to central station and Brunsparken making it easily accessible from anywhere in the city.
A beautiful park area that the tour paddles right along side providing a chance to see into one of Sweden's most renowned gardens.
The water provides a unique view of some of the key historical places in the city. Gustav Adolf's Torg can be a busy spot in the summer so viewing the statue on the water just makes sense!
As you paddle through the canals you will see much of central Gothenburg whilst being introduced to the city's fascinating history and culture.
The Vallgraven or Moat in English provides a perfect way to see the centre of the city from a different perspective. originally built as an important defence for the city, the canals are now one of the calmest and tranquil places in all of the city.
