In just over three hours you can reach the city of Gothenburg by train. This city has its own energy, but is a little more laidback than Stockholm. Get your trainers on and enjoy walking through the picturesque streets. Stop at the Gothenburg Museum of Art, which houses Nordic collections from the 15th century, eat plenty of seafood at one of the city’s many trendy restaurants and get a different view of Gothenburg via a waterside city tour.
