Ocean Bus Gothenburg

OVERVIEW

Hop aboard an amphibious vehicle known as an Ocean Bus and see Gothenburg’s most iconic attractions by land and by sea. This unusual sightseeing adventure will begin by driving from Gustav Adolf’s Square, which is named for the king that founded the city in 1621. As you continue along city streets such as Avenyn, you will pass landmarks that include the iconic Poseidon statue, a beloved symbol of Gothenburg. It rises above Götaplatsen square, which is considered the cultural hub of Gothenburg. The boulevard Avenyn stretches from Götaplatsen to the oldest section of Gothenburg, which commentary will describe in detail. As soon as the Ocean Bus – which weighs a hefty 10 tons – enters the water and converts into a boat, you will enjoy a different but complementary perspective of Gothenburg. One of the more impressive sights will be the Eriksberg Crane, a soaring bright-red crane that stands as a reminder of Gothenburg’s rich shipbuilding heritage.
