I am looking forward to show you around in Gothenburg and on the West coast of Sweden! It's my home district, and it's where I have been guiding tourists for more than 30 years. I have also been working as a tour guide all over the Scandinavian countries, besides my profession as secondary school teacher. In the Regional State Archives in Gothenburg, it's possible to do genealogical research. I would love to take you to the places from where your ancestors emigrated. I guarantee you a memorable visit to Gothenburg and Sweden! Authorized local guide in Gothenburg. University degree in Political Science, Local History and Economy.

Overview of your Gothenburg tour

The picturesque small town Marstrand was founded on a small rocky island, already in the 13th century. Marstrand has a dramatic history, as a "porto franco" (free port) and center for not only traders, but also smugglers. You will enjoy the scenic views of the Rocky archipelago, take a walk in Marstrand and see 17th Century Carlsten Fortress (surcharge for inside visit).

Your Gothenburg tour itinerary

Marstrand is easy to reach, 47 km from Gothenburg, and 3 minutes ferry crossing to the main Marstrand island. At the top of the rock, rises the impressive 17th Century Carlsten Fortress. Enjoy the view of the sea and archipelago from the walls of the fortress. Please, note uphill walking. Take a walk through this idyllic town, with many old wooden houses and where car driving is forbidden! Then, we will go back to Gothenburg.
