Gothenburg
Second City Bonus
Second City Bonus
Gothenburg is the little city that thinks big. For proof, moor your Y.CO charter yacht in the historic centre. Gothenburg’s art museum has Picassos and Monets. The city park has wild deer and elks. Local companies include Volvo and AstraZeneca. Go large by paddleboarding through town. Pilot an Airbus simulator at the Aeroseum. Or float gently down the Säveån River through nature reserves. It’s Sweden, in miniature.
YACHT CHARTER ITINERARIES
INSPIRATIONAL ITINERARIES IN SWEDEN
Eat up Sweden’s second city. Gothenburg is a cosmopolitan capital containing five Michelin stars, 15 museums and over 500 cafés. The Gothenburg Archipelago is equally tasty. Position off car-free islands then tender, kayak or swim in. Try smoked salmon in Klåva. Crab on Vinga. And prawns on the fisher island of Björkö. Overindulged? So did the seals. Take a seal safari to watch the mammals napping after a seafood blowout.

Green Scene
Gothenburg has issued green bonds to promote environmentalism. The city will become carbon-neutral by 2030. Even its theme park, Liseburg, has the world’s most sustainable rollercoasters. (New ride Valkyria has Europe’s longest vertical rollercoaster drop, while AtmosFear requires no translation). The Swedish city is 100% pure. Sip coffee in a botanical park. Sample craft beer al fresco in the Haga district. Then hop back to your yacht on Gothenburg’s seafront.
Into The Woods
30 minutes from Gothenburg is dense forest. Race a Pinarello bike through the spruce. Cast a fishing line for pike. Paddle a Canadian canoe through the natural reserve of Vättlefjäll. Enjoy Europe’s purest air. Or we’ll create a forest treasure hunt just for you. This evening you can detox with a Swedish massage on your Y.CO charter yacht. Then retox with snaps, a digestif laced with Scandinavian herbs.
It's A Steamy Capital
Gothenburg is one of Sweden’s sunniest cities. And its steamiest. The most spectacular sauna is Svettekörka ('Sweat Church'), which rises above Gothenburg's port. It's completely free to steam inside. More refined is Saltholmens Kallbadhus, overlooking a Gothenburg lake. Entrance costs $10 and bathing suits are optional. The post-sauna jump into the lake is gratis. The Swedish steam experience can be recreated in your spa on a Y.CO charter yacht.
