Gothenburg & Bohuslän
Smooth granite islands, cold-water seafood and a coast that Swedes keep for themselves.
The west coast summer
Bohuslän runs north from Gothenburg to the Norwegian border: bare granite worn smooth by ice, fishing villages painted in ochre and white, and an archipelago that is Sweden’s own summer country, and not an international destination.
Gothenburg anchors it with a strong restaurant culture built on North Sea shellfish — langoustine, oyster and the cold-water prawn. Oyster and lobster safaris with local fishermen are the most direct way into it.
