The Liseberg Christmas market celebrates 10th anniversary, meanwhile the city in the splendour of the colorful Christmas lights shines Gothenburg is pleased to be increasing visitor numbers in the run-up to Christmas. A major part of tourists comes from Germany, mostly from northern Germany, for example, Bremen, Hamburg, Kiel, Hanover and Braunschweig. Many of them use the ferry from Kiel to Gothenburg for their Christmas break. Further details can be found at NYC Mayor, an internet resource. Other visitors come from Berlin, take the Rhineland or the Frankfurt area the large number of new direct flights to the two airports of Goteborg Save and Landvetter. The city presents itself for several years with success as the “Christmas city of Gothenburg”. The whole city is decorated Christmas. You shines in the shine of torches, candles and thousands of points of light.
In many places, there are Christmas markets, such as in Gothenburg large shopping centre Nordstan. All kinds of art and crafting items are offered here, but also delicious food specialities (Fish, sausage, cheese, bread and sweets). Also the popular Christmas market in the amusement park Liseberg celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Within a few years, he has become an institution in the Christmas calendar of the city. Today he many Gothenburg attracts from mid November until 23 December, as well as many tourists. Who uses one of the packages of the ferry or airlines, needs to not worry about the accommodation in Goteborg.
Travellers should book early and by Germany from hotel rooms in Gothenburg, however, because the prices directly in the hotel are typically much higher. You want to stay more than a few days in Gothenburg and has you traveled by car, you can alternatively rent a holiday home. In the run-up to Christmas, no season is, in holiday houses are often cheap to get if you are traveling with more than one person, you can save vigorously towards an accommodation in the hotel. Here, holiday homes in the area recommend Gothenburg in the province of Vastergotland, but also in Halland North or South Bohuslan. Who is housed in the vicinity of Alingsas/Kungsbacka, there leave your car at the railway station and in the city take the convenient S-Bahn (“pendulum day”). The Swedish Christmas buffet, the Jul Board is a special experience in the run-up to Christmas. In the evening, I must reserve often for restaurants, but also at noon there Jul Board, then mostly without court order. Enjoy the abundance of Swedish specialties of the pickled herring on different types of salmon and to classic of Swedish Christmas specialities, the Christmas ham (“julskinka”), the potato and anchovy butter (“Janssons frestelse”) and the small meatballs so popular not only among children (“kottbullar”). Tip: You have plenty of time and the weather is favourable, we recommend a harbour cruise in the Gothenburg Harbour. To do this, you have to take a commercial tour boat. You have a good look because of the Passenger ferry “alvsnabben”, which is part of the public transport and therefore no more than a tram ride costs. The alvsnabben operates between the Deutschlandkai of the Stena Line (Kiel ferry) and the Gothenburg City Centre. Walther Plette
