Overview
Experience Gothenburg from the water on the classic Paddan boat tour, one of the city’s most iconic sightseeing experiences.

With live guiding in Swedish and English, you’ll glide under 20+ low bridges and out toward the lively harbour. See traditional shipyards, the fishing harbour, and both modern and historic neighbourhoods. The open‑top boats offer panoramic views—so dress for the weather.
