Layover Tips

Making the most of your time at Landvetter

4h: With 4 hours at Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT), it’s best to stay at or near the airport. Clear immigration and security can take 30–60 minutes each way, so use this time to relax and refresh. Inside the terminal, browse duty‑free and Swedish design shops, grab a coffee and cinnamon bun (kanelbulle) at Espresso House or Caffè Ritazza, or enjoy a sit‑down meal at O’Learys or Kitchen & Table. There are quiet seating areas and workspaces with Wi‑Fi if you need to catch up on emails. If you want fresh air, the short‑term parking area is a quick walk from arrivals for a brief stroll before heading back through security at least 60–90 minutes before departure.
8h: With about 8 hours, you can make a quick trip into Gothenburg’s city center. The Flygbussarna airport coach or Västtrafik bus + tram combo takes roughly 25–35 minutes to Centralstationen/Drottningtorget. Start with a walk through the historic Haga district: stroll Haga Nygata, see the wooden houses, and try a giant cinnamon bun at Café Husaren. From there, walk to the city center via Magasinsgatan for boutiques and street‑food trucks, then continue to the canals around Kungsportsplatsen. If the weather is good, head to Trädgårdsföreningen (the Garden Society of Gothenburg) for a quick walk among the greenhouses and rose gardens. Alternatively, visit Universeum or the Gothenburg Museum of Art at Götaplatsen for a compact culture stop. Allow at least 1 hour to get back to the airport and clear security.
24h: With 24 hours, you can experience several sides of Gothenburg. After arriving and checking into a central hotel near Centralstationen, start with a canal‑side walk around Kungsportsplatsen and Avenyn, then visit the Gothenburg Museum of Art and the nearby sculpture park at Götaplatsen. In the afternoon, explore Haga and climb up to Skansen Kronan for city views. If it’s summer, take a tram to Saltholmen and hop on an archipelago ferry to islands like Styrsö or Brännö for a few hours of seaside walking and cafés. In cooler months, visit Universeum or the Maritime Museum and Aquarium. In the evening, dine in the Linnéstaden or Magasinsgatan areas, known for modern Nordic and seafood restaurants, or head to Feskekôrka’s surrounding area for fish and shellfish (note: check current status of the Feskekôrka building, as it has been under renovation). Finish with drinks along Avenyn or in the more local bars of Andra Långgatan before returning to your hotel and heading back to GOT the next day.

Getting There & Away

Transport options to/from the airport

tips: Plan extra time for the airport coach during rush hour. Use the Västtrafik To Go app for real‑time departures and mobile tickets. Many central areas are walkable, so combine walking with trams for longer hops. For the southern archipelago, take tram 11 to Saltholmen and then a Västtrafik ferry; standard tickets usually apply, but check current rules. Cycling is popular, and several rental and bike‑share options exist, though weather can be windy and wet. Gothenburg is generally card‑friendly, and contactless payment is widely accepted on transport, in taxis, and in shops.
from_airport: Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) is about 20–25 km east of central Gothenburg. The Flygbussarna airport coaches run frequently to Nils Ericson Terminalen/Centralstationen, taking around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic; tickets can be bought online, in machines, or via contactless payment. Västtrafik regional buses also connect the airport with the city and some suburbs, usually requiring a change to tram or bus in town. Taxis are available outside arrivals; use reputable companies and ask for a fixed price to central Gothenburg. Several car‑rental companies operate at the airport if you plan to explore the region.
public_transit: Gothenburg’s public transport is run by Västtrafik and includes trams, buses, and ferries. Trams are the easiest way to move between the central station, Avenyn, Haga, Linnéstaden, and Saltholmen (for the southern archipelago ferries). Tickets are valid across trams, buses, and most local ferries and can be bought via the Västtrafik To Go app, ticket machines, or selected shops. Single tickets and time‑based passes (24‑hour, 72‑hour, etc.) are available. Validate your ticket before boarding where required, and board through any door on trams. Late‑night services run on key routes, but frequencies drop after midnight.
