 Park for lazy summer days |
Eklandagatan (behind Renströmsparken) Gothenburg 41255 Sweden |
Carlanderska is a private nursing hospital that used to house a regiment. The hospital has a lovely park, which is great for a lazy summer's day. The park is situated on Eklandagatan, just behind Renströmsparken. From the park you enjoy a cool view of Liseberg. It is said that the small hill next to the hospital used to hold gallows. During the summer, the park is full of people tanning themselves. There are several self-service shops and cafés on Eklandagatan, where you can buy some picnic food. There is no playground or toilet in the park. To get here, take bus 51 to Carlandersplatsen. Review © 2007, Wcities |
