A hoho bus would be a good choice to see Gothenburg, however it won't necessary go the fastest route between the things you want to see. Have in mind that Gothenburg have a very extensive public transport network with trams, buses and harbour ferries and might be faster to use public transport.

There is a second ferry company that does stop at the Masthamnen/Stadsgården quay but summer time tables aren't available yet. You can however check this website at the end of April to see summer time tables. https://ressel.se/en/emelie-traffic/ It will drop you off very close to Abba/Vasa/Nordiska museet. "Is the ferry accessible? Our boarding bridge takes both wheelchairs and permobiles without problems. We also always have a deck attendant to assist with embarking and disembarking. The thresholds on the main deck are only a few centimetres high and well chamfered so the main deck is fully accessible."

Depends on where your ship berths and which day your ship is in town, but lets say maybe around 300-400 SEK if your ship berths in central Stockholm and about 4-5 times that if your ship berths at Nynäshamn.

March (depending on when in March) is borderline late to see northern lights. As for North to south or south to north - the further north you go the greater the chance to see northern lights. However there are other factors (out of your control) such as solar activity and weather that in the end will be de deciding factor as to if you will see northern lights or not.

Go to a cold bath bath house to go swimming? https://helsingborg-se.translate.goog/uppleva-och-gora/kallbadhus/kallis-helsingborgs-kallbadhus/?&_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=sv DIY city walking tour https://helsingborg-se.translate.goog/uppleva-och-gora/upptack-appen-guide-helsingborg/?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=sv If your ship doesn't have a stop in Helsingör as well, then take the ferries over to Helsingör and goto Kronborg castle. https://kongeligeslotte.dk/en/palaces-and-gardens/kronborg-castle.html -
Depends on your budget but three suggestions: Radisson Blu Royal Viking 4 star hotel next to central station. Sheraton, 4 star hotel a few hundred meters from central station, Scandic Klara, a 3 star hotel but imo still not that far behind on standard from 4-star hotels. Also close to central station. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Centralplan+15-1,+111+20+Stockholm/Radisson+Blu+Royal+Viking/59.3288172,18.0618585/Scandic+Klara,+Slöjdgatan,+Stockholm/@59.3315377,18.0602518,835m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m21!4m20!1m5!1m1!1s0x465f9d607c2166b1:0x5083f03c3ee137ef!2m2!1d18.0589826!2d59.3304901!1m5!1m1!1s0x465f9d608cd21b5f:0x7c069c6b454f6af6!2m2!1d18.0581268!2d59.3315127!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x465f9d5df9c8be97:0x853dac399a1e4557!2m2!1d18.0624326!2d59.3338316!3e2?entry=ttu

Thanks, hotel booked, was a bit surprised to see that breakfast was not included (used to staying on Swedish hotels where it's included). Anyway train tickets are not on sale yet, but I don't think there will much changed to current time table. Can either leave at 06 and arrive at 11.25 or at 08 and arrive at 13.25 Haven't decided which train to go back on, but will probably leave around 14 or 15 in the afternoon. -
Gothenburg, Sweden…Arendal port
Desdichado62 replied to lasekeye's topic in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
While public transport is somewhat available on a normal day (but requires pre-order by phone and requires you to change ) , I think shuttles would make most sense here, unless there are special departures for public transport when a cruise ship is at Arendal. Quay is about 12 km outside the city center. However someone who has recently been there might give you a better answer. -

I will be arriving by train on Friday afternoon (don't exactly when since SJ hasn't released the tickets for the winter yet), but probably around 12.00 sometime and leave Sunday afternoon (it's a two night event and starts at 15.00). Plan is to drop off suit case at hotel, grab some food and head to Roskilde. Have starting to look at hotels, but almost every hotel in vicinity of the central seems to have very mixed reviews. However I am currently leaning towards Villa Copenhagen. Opinion? Needs to be close to the station. As for museums, I was thinking Museum of Copenhagen and The Danish War Museum. Probably only have time to do one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Also need to sort out lunch for all three days. Event is at Gimle - Tanken, seems to be a café at the arena. Not sure if food is available during the festival concerts. -
Nope. Some places might, but no guarantee if cash is accepted at all (many places don't accept cash) also as mentioned Scandinavia + Finland are more or less cash less. Card or mobile payments are used.
