Bus Hire in Gothenburg, Sweden

Gothenburg (Goteborg in Swedish) is Sweden's second-largest city and primary port, situated at the mouth of the Gota River on the west coast. It is the main hub for the Swedish automotive industry (Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks), a major cruise ship arrival point, and home to Scandinavia's largest amusement park (Liseberg). Landvetter Airport (GOT) is 25 kilometres east via the E20, approximately 25 to 35 minutes by coach.

Gothenburg's coach hire market is driven by corporate demand from the automotive and logistics sectors, by tourism to Liseberg and the Haga cobbled quarter, and by the West Sweden archipelago excursion trade in summer. The city is compact by Scandinavian standards, with most attractions within 5 kilometres of Kungsportsplatsen.

Haga (the historic district of 19th-century wooden workers' houses, 1 kilometre south-west of the city centre) is a major destination for tourism and group meals; coaches drop off on Vasagatan. The Gothenburg waterfront (Lilla Bommens Hamn and the Opera House) is accessible by coach via Larmtorget.

Coach tours of the Volvo factory complex can be arranged via the Volvo corporate visitor programme. The Gothenburg Exhibition Centre (Svenska Massan/Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre, Kungsbackaleden 2, adjacent to Liseberg) is the largest congress venue in western Sweden, with capacity for 18,000 delegates.
