Can you help me please. We will be in gothenburg on may 8 arriving on Serenade of Seas. From what I have read, we will take a shuttle to the city. Our top priorities for the day ar Feskekorka, Haga, Liseberg & Lilla Bommen Harbour. Can you advise where we will be dropped off in the city & in what order we should viit these place to make the best use of our time and the closeness to each other. We are in port from 8 am to 5 pm. any help you can give is greatly apprecialte. . I did look at the Stinsen sightseeing train but they do not start service until may 14. also can you advise where the hop on hop off bus route starts if we should decide to use this service.

Thank you

Muriel

 

Regarding the shuttle drop off point, I don't know but I have heard/read that the shuttle might stop at Stora Teatern but this is far from confirmed.

 

However Stora Teatern is where the HoHo bus departs:

All of your things on a map:

So perhaps go with the hoHo to Feskekörka and from there walk to Haga and then HoHo to Lilla Bommen.

From Lilla Bommen to Liseberg, tram #5 towards Östra Sjukhuset is probably the fastet transport.

 

Then you can use the same tram in the opposite direction to get back to the theatre. Get off at Kungsportsplatsen

Forgot to say that like in STockholm you will have to buy the tickets for the tram in advance.

 

There are several ways, one way is to buy the tickets before you leave;

But that requires you to know which departures you are going on.

Thank you so much for your help. It is very much appreciated. I had wanted to do the Paddan/ Hop on Bus combo but according to a booking website it is not available until later in May but I did notice it is available thru the cruise line but at a very expensive price. I think I will go with my original plan and visit on my own with your advice
