 Mountain with view of Gothenburg |
Rambergsvägen Gothenburg 41713 Sweden |
Ramberget is Gothenburg's highest mountain, rising 86 metres above sea level. It is situated on Hisingen, Sweden's fourth-largest island. Ramberget has a nice lookout point which offers a grand view over most parts of Gothenburg. When the sun is still shining, you can see Vinga lighthouse in the west. Next to Ramberget is Keilers park. The path up Ramberget is a steep one, but take a picnic basket with you and enjoy it on the mountaintop. To get here, take trams 2 or 5 to Wieselgrensplatsen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Skyscraper with a view of the city and the harbour |
Lilla Bommen Gothenburg 411 04 Sweden |
Down by Lilla Bommen, the red—and—white Skanska Skyscraper that rises 86 metres (280ft) above sea level. It is commonly known as Läppstiftet (the Lipstick). From the top of the skyscraper there is a nice view over the city and the harbour. There is also a café in Götheborgs Utkiken. You can hire Götheborgs Utkiken for special occasions. It is only a few minutes walk from the city centre to Lilla Bommen and the Skanska Skyscraper. If you don't feel like walking, bus number 40 or trams 2 or 5 will take you from Brunnsparken to Lilla Bommen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historical lookout tower |
Karl Johansgatan 1-3 Gothenburg 41459 Sweden +46 31 61 2900 http://www.sjofartsmuseum.gote... |
Sjömanstornet (The Mariner Tower) is situated at the Maritime Museum, just next to Stigbergstorget. The tower was built in memory of deceased marines of the First World War. The inscriptions of their names and the ships they served on are at the foot of the tower. The tower was inaugurated in 1933. It is 49 metres tall and reaches to 63 metres over sea level. There is no lift, so you have to walk up 139 steps. At the top of the tower stands the five-metre statue Kvinna vid havet ("Woman by the Sea"). To get here, take trams 3, 4 or 9 to Stigbergstorget.

Bridge with a view of the harbour |
Älvborgsbron Gothenburg 414 71 Sweden |
Älvsborgsbron connects Gothenburg with the island of Hisingen, the fourth—largest island of Sweden. The bridge opened in 1966. It is 900 metres long, and its height is 45 metres. Sven Olof Asplund, who designed the bridge, also planned Kaknästornet, the television tower in Stockholm. If you walk to the middle of the bridge, you have a great view of the harbour entrance. Look to the west, and you will see the Älvsborgs Nya Fästning fortress. To get there take the number 9 tram from Brunnsparken to Jaegerdorffsplatsen. From the tram stop, it is about 15 minutes' walking distance. Review © 2007, Wcities |
