ssawjo Posted August 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2019 We will be in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Sept. 14, a Saturday. Is there a free walking tour available? A hop-on/hop-off bus/boat? Tours off of the Oceania Marina are very expensive. Any pertinent information is welcome, including a nice restaurant near the port. Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on which ship you are on and where the hoho buses departs from. If the hoho doesn't come to the port then there are huttle buses into town.

Desdichado62 Posted August 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2019 About "hoho buses" " he shuttle buses stop in central Gothenburg at the Grand Theatre or at Gustav Adolf’s square. " " Arendal Cruise Terminal From Arendal it takes around 20 minutes to central Gothenburg by shuttle bus or taxi. " I think that from Skandiahamnen and Arendal shuttle bus or taxi might be the only options to get downtown. From Amerikaskjulet you can walk up to Stigbergstorget stop and travel with tram 9 towards Angered centrum from there. Gustav Adolf’s square stop is called Brunnsparken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2019 There will be a shuttle bus option from the port to Gustav Adolf's square. We had one on our port visit there with RCI for a small roundtrip fee charged to our SeaPass account. Use this option as it's the easiest to get into town.

We are on the Oceania Marina, Sept. 14, and will be berthed at quay 710 Roro. This looks like a very industrial terminal. Any idea how to get to downtown? Hopefully Oceania will provide a shuttle bus or something. Thanks for the information. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely your cruise ship will contract with a local provider for shuttle service....probably for a small fee that they will allow you to use your onboard account for. Our RCI ship did.

rosiebee Posted August 30, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Get a street map and walk through to the Haga district. Lots of original houses, cobbled streets, cafes and little shops. You must have a Hagebullen, I think it's called, a local speciality Cinnamon Bun. Ours was the size of a dinner plate and we had to take half of it away with us. A Swedish lady told me about this place and it didn't disappoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
