It was very cozy and lovely. Visited some museums and walked around the city and hiked to the Bergsjön in the morning. There was a beautiful lake and view to the whole city. Met some friends and they showed me around.
Posted: July 24, 2024Gothenburg is my hometown. Everywhere downtown is really safe, I even used to walk home alone from night clubs in the middle of the night and I have never felt unsafe.
Posted: July 13, 2023Accommodation: I can recommend Slottsskogens hostel. Recommendations: Gothenburg is not a big city and it does not have as many attractions to see compared to other European cities, but it is worth trying to see a bit of nature around it if you like forests/oceans. I really recommend doing a day trip to one of the archipelagos, you can easily get there by public ferry, and they are beautiful.

Gothenburg is very safe! Sweden in general is very safe. There are people around almost all the time during evening and night and everyone is very helpful. Pickpockets are next to none in gbg as well
Posted: June 23, 2024Very safe in general but just in case, you shouldn't walk alone through the forest or sketchy areas in the middle of the night. Using public transportation is the safest way to travel during dark hours.

Hello! I’m a U.S. American who has lived in Germany for 3,5 years now, and I’ve done my fair share of couch surfing during the years I backpacked in my early 20s. Looking forward to meeting new people!😊
