Gothenburg; Sunday, 02 July, 2017

The hotel very conveniently offered a super late checkout time of 6pm on Sundays so after breakfast I was able to head out of the hotel and get on with the day.

My first stop was the open-top bus tour. Again, this was something that I’d done on my previous trip but it was included free with the Gothenburg Card so I decided to do it again.

After completing the tour I had a bit of a wander around the city centre and paused for an early lunch before heading over to the Gothenburg city museum.

It was one of the few places that I’d wanted to get to on the previous trip, but I hadn’t had time to visit, so I’d deliberately left a lot Sunday to dedicate to looking round it, and I wasn’t disappointed. Not only by the excellent exhibitions, but also by the stunning building itself.

Having taken in the museum I walked round the corner to Gustav Adolfs Square where I was in time to pick up the land train tour of the city.

As much of the heart of the city centre is pedestrianised the open-top bus can’t visit, but the land train is able to go down these streets so it was possible to see much more of the city that I had done previously – including the picturesque Haga district.

Back at Gustav Adolfs Torg I went for a bit of a wander round the city centre before it was time to head back to the hotel, freshen up and check out.

I caught the tram back over to the bus station to pick up the airport bus and this time safe in the knowledge that the plane forming my flight was already at Heathrow and getting ready to fly out to Gothenburg.
