Nightlife and Entertainment in Gothenburg

Edit This
i_1
The varied night life is one of the reasons that Swedes consider Gothenburg the most popular city in Sweden. Especially in summer, when the streets and sqares are transformed into giant outdoor bars and restaurants, Gothenburg is a great place to go out. You can sample food from all over the world, including of course Swedish specialities, in one of the many restaurants. You can go dancing all night in a club, enjoy a quiet drink in a small café, or take your chances in a casino.

The Auld Dubliner

Edit This

Irish pubs are a bit like MacDonalds, there's at least one in every self respecting town in the world, and they're all more or less the same.

Sometimes that's just what you want.

It can get pretty full, and on Fridays and Saturdays there's a cover charge at the door for the live music upstairs. (Free entry before 9pm).

A few shamrocks and an Irish name do not an Irish pub make. Some of the barmen are on the downright unfriendly and arrogant side.

Operan

Edit This

The Opera House is one of the prides of Gothenburg. Opened in 1994, it is one of the most modern opera houses in the world. It hosts concerts, operas, operettes and ballets, and has 1250 seats. Even if you don't want to see a performance, it's worth to take a look at the spectacular building.

McDonalds

Edit This

For those of you who aren't adventurous enough to try the local specialities. Or who have had quite enough of those local specialities and are fed up with the fermented herring and the smorbrod. Sometimes it can be reassuring to know that some things are the same everywhere.
