The Swedish city of Gothenburg is holding one of Europe's largest flower exhibitions this summer to delight tourists and locals alike.

Swedish and international landscape architects have designed theme gardens in four of Scandinavia's most splendid parks - Tradgardsforeningen (the Horticultural Gardens), Gothenburg Botanical Gardens, Liseberg and Gunnebo House.

The harbour city of Gothenburg is already famous for its botanical garden, considered one of the most important in Europe with three stars in the French Guide Rouge.

Fascinating museums of art, design, maritime and natural history, science and the new Museum of World Culture make this a great place to visit with children.

A boat trip on to some of the islands is a must, including the Alvsborg Fortress, Vinga and Styrso islands.

Grab a Gothenburg pass that allows free travel in Gothenburg on all trams, trains, buses and archipelago boats as well as entry to a number of attractions.



The exhibition will run from June 28th to September 28th this year.
