What’s the coolest thing about Gothenburg that no one else knows about?
There are a number of micro breweries in Gothenburg and the city is considered the beer capital of Sweden. Also Lonely Planet ranked Gothenburg as the world´s best sustainable city to visit 2021.
What’s the one thing you have to do here when you visit
In the winter: Enjoy a “fika” on one of the cozy cobblestone streets of Haga. A place where you will find a variety of cozy cafes, restaurants and shops.
In the summer: discover the Gothenburg archipelago. Take the tram to Saltholmen and visit, for example, the islands of Styrsö or Vrångö.
Where we go after work
We often have our after works in our cozy office. But as our office is located right in the city centre there is an abundance of restaurants to choose from. A tip if you want to visit a nice restaurant with after work is otherwise Bellora which has a wonderful roof terrace.
Restaurant we take clients to
Toso at the top of the avenue is a classic. A really nice restaurant with a star in the Michelin Guide and fantastic food from the Asian cuisine.
Essential phrase in local language
Hej! Hur mår du? (Hello, how are you?)
