Here you will find the best of both worlds. Public transport connects all parts of the city and you can easily get there by bus, tram and boat. Around the city you will also find the city's own bicycles. The city's population is, relatively speaking, young and well educated. The two internationally ranked universities - Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg - have a total of about 50,000 students. Along the coast of Gothenburg, the archipelago can be seen as a string of pearls of islands. The entire southern part is car-free and is best experienced on foot, bicycle or from a sea kayak. The mainland also has great nature experiences to offer. Just a short bus ride from the city center, you can experience the silence and tranquility of a landscape that changes, surprises and captivates. History is reminded of ancient relics, castles, ruins, churches and fortresses. Here you can hike, climb mountains, cycle, canoe, fish or maybe take a dip in one of all the beautiful lakes. In and around the center you will find green areas such as Slottsskogen, Trädgårdsföreningen and the Botanical Garden. The city has a lot to discover. The Art Museum, the Concert Hall and the City Theater at Götaplatsen always offer the highest quality, as does the Gothenburg Opera by the harbor canal. But there are also lots of small galleries, theaters and concert stages with space for everything from world stars to local talents. Among the city's most famous annual cultural events are the Gothenburg Film Festival, which is the Nordic region's largest public film festival, and the Gothenburg Cultural Festival, which every year attracts large numbers of people to discover something new from the extremely well-stocked program. Totally free. Gothenburg has both an alternative music scene and the large arena scenes. Music is important to the people of Gothenburg and major music events can be seen throughout the city. One example is the unique and internationally acclaimed Way Out West festival, which set a completely new standard when it comes to artist bookings, sustainability work and atmosphere.
