Gamlestaden, Historic district in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The district combines residential buildings with industrial structures, including the large SKF manufacturing facilities spread across the northeastern section of Gothenburg.

Founded in 1473 as Nya Lödöse, the area preceded modern Gothenburg and functioned as a major Swedish trading center before the establishment of the current city.

The neighborhood houses Forum Gothenburg, which contains the largest collection of vintage items, antiques, design pieces, and art installations in the Nordic region.

Visitors can reach Gamlestaden via frequent tram services from central Gothenburg, with multiple stops serving different sections of the district.

Wine Mechanics operates an urban winery in a former industrial building, producing wines and offering a restaurant that serves locally sourced oysters.
