Gothenburg wouldn’t be truly green, of course, without its proximity to nature. Surrounded by thick forests of linden and beech, the city offers a hefty 274 sq m of green space per citizen. The Botanical Garden and Slottsskogen, the city’s most beautiful parks, are wonderful to explore. At the latter, you’ll find tranquil meadows and wooded paths, Sweden’s only free zoo and the Goteburg Natural History Museum, which, oddly enough, claims to have the world’s only full-size taxidermy blue whale.
