Founded in 1621, Gothenburg is Scandinavia's most important port and is also the country’s second largest city after the capital Stockholm with around half a million inhabitants. It's waterside location, the green open spaces and fine architecture make it a strikingly beautiful city whilst also offering all the cultural experience and amenities you'd expect of a city of that size including theatres, museums, restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels and shops. Despite it's size and the fact that it has hosted major international events over the years, it still has a kind of a small-town charm about it.
