Boat Ride on the Göta-Älv River in Gothenburg
- Meet the tour guide, who will pick you up from your location in Gothenburg and drive to the city centre to catch your boat. Start your journey to discover Gothenburg freely and feel the wind on your face along uncrowded roads.
- Begin the boat ride at Lejontrappan, one of the most famous points in Gothenburg. Lejontrappan is a Swedish word that means "The Lion Stairs" in English.
- Enjoy the boat ride on the Göta River through Gustaf Adolfs torg, where you will see and learn from your guide about King Gustav Adolf's statue, which has stood in the square since the late 17th century. You will also see and learn about the stock exchange building, dating back to the 18th century and constructed in the Neoclassical style.
- Continue past the German Church, also called Christinae Church, located in the city centre of Gothenburg, Sweden. Named after Queen Christina, it was inaugurated in 1748 and used by the German and Dutch congregations in Gothenburg.
- Take the ride into the open Baltic Sea at Lilla Bommen, part of Gothenburg harbour used for visiting boats and also the name given to the land surrounding the harbour. The eponymous building, the Göteborg Opera House, and the barque Viking are all located at Lilla Bommen. Water and snacks will be served during the boat tour.
- End the tour by enjoying the view and history of Feskekörka. It is a Swedish word that means "the fish church" in English. Feskekörka is an indoor fish market in Gothenburg, which got its name from the building's resemblance to a Neo-Gothic church. It opened on 1 November 1874 and was designed by the city architect Victor von Gegerfelt.
