Gothenburg

When WT and I first starting dating, we did a series of weekend breaks (Paris, Dublin, the usual places). But for one of the bank holiday weekends we decided to go somewhere a little different - so we went to Gothenburg. 

People looked slightly confused every time I mentioned it - I very much got the impression that no-one had ever heard of it! It is perhaps a bit of an alternative city break but it was truly lovely. We had such a nice few days; I would defo recommend it.

It's a while ago now but I remember we stayed in a hotel right above Gothenburg Central Station: First Hotel G. Slightly odd experience but it was good value and very well located.

If I'm honest, I can't remember everything we saw but we definitely did the Hop On-Hop Off bus tour which was a great way to see the highlights in a short space of time.

We also visited the Botanical Garden and rode on The Wheel of Gothenburg, a huge ferris wheel (which at the time was located by the harbour next to the Opera House but has since been moved to Liseberg).

We also did a boat tour and visited the Älvsborg Fortress.
