In a week’s time I’ll be off for a long weekend in Gothenburg – I’m hoping to eat my way through the Christmas markets, bask in the lights and seasonal cheer (if not the chilly temperatures of a Gothenburg winter) and explore all that’s on offer in Sweden’s second largest city. To get me in the mood and work out what we might like to see in the three days that we are there, I’ve asked around the internet for tips and advice on fun things to do in Gothenburg in December and what to see and here’s what you came up with; Fun things to do in Gothenburg in winter Fika – coffee and cinnamon buns Apparently the Swedes are great consumers of coffee (the alcohol being rather expensive) and they love nothing better than to meet with friends for a gossip over coffee and perhaps a cake or cinnamon bun, a pastime known as Fika. Sounds like a great way to get out of the icy winds that sweep off the sea in a cosy cafe in Haga, the picturesque, old-town neighbourhood.
