Cool Breeze Cruiser Posted April 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2018 My husband & I will be arriving in Gothenburg October 3rd via the NCL Breakaway from 8AM until 5PM. Any suggestion on things to do or tour guides? We prefer scenery/activities/exploring the culture to museums & architecture. The Hop On Hop Off Bus only runs on Saturdays in October. Thanks, Juli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maizyday Posted April 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2018 We once waited an hour for the hop on hop off in Gothenburg , only to find it was the coach marked up Malmo that we had be sat beside , so if you decide to do it make sure they tell you what to expect ! We did a fun trip around the ' moat' on a boat , it wwas late September and we had to duck further and further down until the last but obe bridge when we had to get on the floor lol ( there was only about 6 inch clearance on the last bridge so they decided it wasnt wise to try ! ) I would highly recommend it , it was the highlight of our weekend there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Breeze Cruiser Posted April 9, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Gothenburg has been a hard port to find info about so I thought I would share a few things I found. I posted on Trip Advisor & here & on the Norwegian boards on Cruise Critic trying to come up with some ideas on what to do there. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2620382&highlight=Gothenburg From the answers to my post on Cruise Critic it sounds like the ship will provide shuttles for a fee. Hope they do. If anyone likes vintage cars this tour might be interesting. It is rated #4 of 29 tours in Gothenburg. They will do a weekday tour as long as there are at least three cars booked. http://timetravelgbg.se/en I emailed about a bike tour & a Segway tour. I received a response from Nils with the bike tour. He said the tour could start at 10AM. The tour takes about 2 hours, and the price is 300 sek per person. http://www.goteborg.com/en/bike-tour-gothenburg/ We were also interested in visiting the Archipelago. The weather might be a little chilly for that though so we have decided to do the bike tour & wander around the city afterwards. If you have any other suggestions please share.

Ashland Posted April 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2018 More than likely you'll dock in a very industrial port (we did onboard RCI Jewel) outside Gotenburg. Our ship offered bus transfers (contracted by a local company) into the mid-city for a small fee. We arrived into town much too early to find most things/stores were still closed.
