Gothenburg Itinerary - Coming from Scotland, any suggestions appreciated😄
Hi so I am planning a little trip in July to Gothenburg from Edinburgh (I live on the West Coast of Scotland). I just would like some advice from people who have been or live in Sweden.
We would arrive late at night, about 11pm on a Saturday, and would leave Wednesday Morning. I can extend though.
Anyway about us, we're folk who love wildlife and nature, but also a good zoo (ethical only though) and some roller coasters.
Anyway our current intineary
Saturday: Arrive
Sunday: Universeum in the Morning & Liseberg until night. (Helix, Valkyria, Balder, open til late). We will be staying in a hotel around a 20-25 minute walk, so might just walk to the park
Monday: Southern Archipelago, Maybe Styrsö and Vrångö. We're keen hikers here in Scotland, often liking to walk 30k steps+ a day without issue, so if any of the isles have any big scenic walks that would be awesome. It seems from Google that the Isles are mostly not too big and easily walkable. We really enjoy a nice scenic view, we're a bit too weak to Swim 😂😭
Any isle reccomodations would be great! This is not set in stone at all.
Tuesday: Slottsskogen Park AM, , Botanical Garden PM.
Slottsskogen Park sounds really nice, is it worth it?
For the PM I definitely could cut the botanical garden but we like our plants and it sounds really nice too. If there is anything cooler though I would be very open to suggestions.
Wednesday: Home.
So yeah we're still working things out, so don't come for me 😂 Weatherwise I've heard July is really good, and is slightly warmer than West Coast Scotland. I might just dress similarly (normal clothes with a light but warm coat). Food wise I'm a veggie and my BF is Coeilac, how is Sweden for Coeilac? I would guess Vegetarian options are very plentiful considering Sweden is Nordic and a vibe.
Final question is a bit silly, but would learning a few Swedish words be appreciated (thank you and hello) for example. I don't want to seem arrogant just always speaking in English, but obviously majority of Swedes have like arguably better English than most Scots and English people 😂😭
Anyway thanks for reading 😃
