Masthugg Church will offer one of the best overall views of Gothenburg, especially the area around the harbor. A leisurely walk through the 17th-century Haga district will really bring the history to life, as it is Gothenburg’s first suburb. Few places are better for people-watching than the public square Järntorget as you will discover while pausing for photos of this popular hub for shopping and dining. Similarly, Götaplatsen square is recognized as the cultural hub of Gothenburg because it is home to theaters, museums and the iconic Poseidon statue that has become a symbol of the city.
