Area
Theme: Canals and the Harbour

Gothenburg was built where the Göta älv meets the sea, and the best way to feel that is from the water itself. An electric self-drive boat puts you at the helm, no licence required, drifting past the harbour and the old moat with the city spread out on both banks.
