33 rdESPENCongressGENERAL INFORMATIONAbout GothenburgGothenburg, situated in south-western Sweden on the shores of the Kattegat Strait, on both banks ofthe Götaälv River, is Sweden's second largest city and its leading port and commercial centre. Culturallife in Gothenburg is found through the art museum, annual film festival, amusement park Lisebergand free theatres. Its economy is largely dependent on a number of major industries including motorvehicles (Volvo), the manufacture of ball bearings and the chemical industry.Gothenburg is a relatively young town, having received its municipal charter from Gustavus Adolphusonly in 1621. There had been four earlier settlements in the area, but all had been destroyed eitherby war or by fire. The early development of the town was much influenced by the Dutch settlers whohad been brought in. The town quickly grew into Sweden's largest port, engaged particularly in theshipment of timber and iron. During Napoleon's continental blockade (1806) it was the focal point forBritish trade with northern Europe.Gothenburg’s heyday as an international port began in the early 20th century with the developmentof transatlantic traffic, and it is now the base of about a quarter of the Swedish merchant fleet. Withover 20km/12.5miles of quays, the port - which is rarely ice-bound - is the largest in northern Europe,and can accommodate tankers of up to 225,000 tons. The people of Gothenburg are open-mindedand liberally disposed, and have always looked towards the West: in their eyes Stockholm is in Siberia.Gothenburg has built a bright new global reputation as one of Northern Europe´s most exciting andabove all enjoyable gastronomic hubs. Gothenburg is a friendly and pleasant city of convenient size,where most of the many sights and attractions of international magnitude are located within easywalking distance, as are most shops, restaurants and cafés.Some of the main sites of interest in Gothenburg are the Kungsportsavenyn (main boulevard),Gothenburg Museum of Art, Gothenburg Botanical Garden, Natural History Museum and the mostpopular destination - Southern Gothenburg Archipelago, only accessible by boat.Source: www.visitsweden.com40
