Called the gateway to northern Europe, Gothenburg (Goteborg in Swedish) is the country's chief port and second-largest city. Swedes often say that Gothenburg is a more welcoming town than Stockholm, and in fact, a recent opinion poll showed that half the Swedish population would be happy to move to Gothenburg because of its friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
