Gothenburg or Goteborg is a green and beautiful city in the south west of Sweden. The nearness to the ocean makes it smell salt in the wind.
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. Canals, parks, and flower gardens enhance its appeal, as do a large number of museums (featuring everything from the world's only stuffed blue whale to modern art) and the largest amusement park in northern Europe. Gothenburg is also a convenient center for excursions to the fishing villages and to the lovely vacation resorts north of the city.
