Port of Gothenburg, seaport in Sweden
The Port of Gothenburg is a major seaport on Sweden's west coast that handles international shipping traffic. The facility spans multiple basins and quays where cargo ships and container vessels operate throughout the day.
The port was established in the 17th century and became the leading trading hub on Sweden's west coast. Its growth shaped the development of Gothenburg and its role in European commerce.
You can explore the port from several public viewpoints and along the waterfront promenade. The best time to watch ship activity is during normal working hours, and there are pedestrian areas with clear views of the basins.
