Västra Götaland County

With its wide streets and waterways, fascinating maritime history, seafood smorgasbords and many parks and museums, this easygoing city is well worth exploring.

Between the zoo and the adventure park, there is no end to the fun for families visiting this Swedish city, which is also very artistic.

Home to Volvo, the Swedish military, a regional hospital and a university, this is a very industrious city, although many visitors find it quite laid-back.
