This was a decent overview of some of Gothenburg’s landmarks. But throughout the tour, I had difficulty understanding what the guide was saying, due to the guide’s accent. The guide seemed also to have difficulty making clear sentences, so my brain had to occasionally do some “post-processing” in order to understand. There should have been a basic historical overview of Gothenburg in the beginning. However it was still fairly informative, although there could have been some more structure whereby key landmarks should have been more clearly linked with the city’s history.
