Spending New Year’s in Sweden, in the middle of winter.

We spent New Year’s in Gothenburg with fireworks everywhere, busy streets and just enough going on without overplanning the days. Winter was fully in place and the city felt active without being overwhelming.

In this episode, we talk about how we spent New Year’s in Gothenburg, from walking the city and spending time in Haga to visiting the World of Volvo and Universeum. We share where we ate, where we stayed and how the trip naturally stayed close to our neighborhood.

We also talk about New Year’s Eve in the city, from pre dinner drinks to a relaxed night at the apartment while fireworks lit up the sky outside. This episode is about winter travel in Sweden, choosing not to pack in too much and why Gothenburg worked so well for this time of year.
