Travel: Gothenburg, Sweden

Double Dose took a trip to Gothenburg (Goteborg in Swedish) and we’ve come back to tell you why YOU should go there too. This second largest city in Sweden has quite a lot to offer. Double Dose has a list of the hot-places you must see, stay at, shop and dine.

We can’t lie - the town’s got a charm style (no building exceed 6 floors), but also offers advanced technology attractions and venues as Volvo factory museum and The Universeum (large aquarium and museum dedicated to the scientific world).

Nightlife is very impressive since an elevated amount of the Gothenburg metro area population of is formed by 35 years old people or younger who actively hangs out in places like Park Lane and Valand in Södra Vagenas area.

Shop at:

Mouche - it’s a mixture of less-known Swedish designers like Dagmar and Rika and international designers such as Marc Jacobs. Here you’ll find brands like L’autre Chose, Repetto and Emma Hope. Mouche, Sodra Larmgatan 2. www.mouche.se

At ABCD you’ll find a huge variety of Italian brands. The style is simple, but it reflects an Italian glam. The boutique has an impressive collection of handbags from Fendi, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta. Clothes from Gucci, John Galliano, Dior and Max Mara top the shelves.
