Getting Around

For getting around and seeing the sights, we recomend the Västtrafik app. It's easy to find which trams/busses/boats you need to take, and you can buy multiple tickets at once, so only one of you needs the app.

We know quite a few of you are staying for a couple days or so, so it's definitely worth getting your tram on and maybe heading for the easily accessible southern archipelago

Currency

Dont bother getting any cash, in 6 years of being here I've used cash once!

Get yourself a free Revolut account (or Wise/Monzo etc.) and you'll save a bunch on conversion charges etc.

Getting Here

For those of you coming from England, we've found the best option is often to take a train to Edinburgh and fly direct to Gothenburg from there.

Then there's often direct flights from Manchester and London, and another option we're about to try out at christmas is to fly direct Newcastle to Copenhagen and take the train from there (around 3.5hrs). Of course it all depends on the schedules available, and often there are transfers in Amsterdam.

Bus transfers go every 15-20 mins from the airport to central station (Nils Ericsson Terminal), called Flygbussen, and it is easiest to just run out the airport and see if there's a bus waiting. Then you can just pay on there instead of buying the tickets inside and maybe missing the transfer.

Of course you could always take the greener route and ride the rails, or pedal your way here. Don't think anyone has swam here yet....

Where to stay

The venue is very close to the centre of town, only a short tram/taxi ride away, so there are plenty of options for hotels.

For ease, we'd recommend anything near the central station, and a few options include:

• Clarion Hotel Post
• Hotel Eggers
• Radisson Blu Scandinavia
• Scandic Göteborg Central

Of course there's always Airbnb

Other options

For those of you willing to rough it, there is an STF Hostel at Stigberget I'm told isn't so bad.

Anyone thinking of vanning there's a campsite in town with a banging buffet breakfast, and tram access to the centre.
