Summer in Gothenburg

Would you like to discover something new during your vacation this summer? Take the opportunity and spend it with a city experience seasoned with sun and swimming by the sea.

There is much to do and discover in Gothenburg. The botanical garden, the cozy cafes in Haga, the Opera but also a lot of shopping! But the very best might be the beautiful archipelago.

In Gothenburg you will find everything from well-stocked shopping centers to small independent stores. If you are interested in interior design, there is a lot to discover around Magasinsgatan (Artilleriet and Norrgavel for example) which is within a short walking distance from us. Gothenburg is perhaps best known for the range of fresh fish and shellfish, as a west cost city close to the atlantic ocean. So take the opportunity and enjoy the delicacies of the sea either with us or at one of all the wonderful restaurants the city has to offer. For those of you who are looking for something more relaxed, we recommend strolling through Haga and stopping at one of the lovely cafés for a traditional swedish cinnamon bun or visiting the Garden Association, which boasts one of Northern Europe's leading rose gardens, where 2,500 roses of 1,200 different species bloom in the summer.

Discover the Archipelago of Gothenburg

The Gothenburg archipelago is a fantastic place that you can rediscover countless times. The beautiful archipelago islands offer unique summer experiences with cozy swimming coves, harbor restaurants, and numerous activities. Here you can go on seal safaris, and you can also fish for mackerel or crabs.

Our waterfront location provides the perfect base for exploring the archipelago. From Stenpiren, boat lines 281 and 282 travel to the southern islands of the archipelago; the entire trip from Stenpiren to Styrsö, Donsö, and Vrångö takes about 1 hour and 35 minutes. The Stenpiren stop is located right in front of the hotel and is just a few minutes walk from our entrance.

The largest amusement park in the Nordics

Liseberg is a well-known and popular destination in Gothenburg, both for children and grownups. Liseberg is not only an amusement park with roller coasters and giggle-filled carousels, but also a concert organizer and during the summer musical experiences are offered daily. At Liseberg, adventure, music, games, food and beautiful gardens await during three seasons - summer, Halloween and Christmas which we at Riverton warmly recommend experiencing. Please note that Liseberg has a limited number of places in the park, which means that you have to pre-book a day and buy a ticket online on Liseberg's own website.

Experience Gothenburg

Gothenburg is known for its lovely relaxed atmosphere, and during the summer you experience it best at the city's outdoor restaurants, in one of all the beautiful parks or gardens or when strolling the cobbled streets. Gothenburg has a lot to offer and there are a wide range of activities and attractions during the summer months to experience.

We recommend to visit Haga, located very close to the hotel, which is a charming neighborhood known for its cobblestone streets, wooden houses, and cozy cafes. Explore the small boutiques, and antique shops, and enjoy a traditional "fika" (coffee break) with delicious Swedish pastries. Slottsskogen is another recommedation. Stroll through this beautiful green park in the city center, perfect for picnics, leisurely walks, and enjoying the outdoors. You can also visit the free-entry Slottsskogen Zoo, where you can see native Nordic animals like moose, deer, and seals. You can further more explore Gothenburg's canals on a boat tour and see the city from a different perspective. You'll pass by picturesque buildings, historical landmarks, and beautiful scenery. Please contact the front desk to arrange a boat tour along the canals.
