Göteborg was founded in 1621 by the Swedish King Gustav Adolf II. It is situated on the west coast and is Sweden's second largest city, with almost a half million inhabitants. The Göteborg region is a commercial and industrial centre, where world-famous companies, such as Volvo, SKF, Astra Zeneca, Nobelpharma, Hasselblad, Saab Ericsson Space and others, have headquarters or main offices. In addition, Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University are known to engage many of the best scientists in the world.
The harbour offers the opportunity for long or short excursions on the sea. The restaurants are excellent with an outstanding selection of fish and seafood on most menus.

Oh yes, I obviously had much better weather whilst my visit in Göteborg. I can second sjalen's comment about the church, so it is about time to update the tips. :-)

The church with no text on your page is Vasakyrkan (just in case you've forgotten) :)

A stroll at Haga Old Quaters could be fun. A walk in the pass.
