Göta Canal - one of Sweden's most popular tourist destinations

More than 200 years of history, 58 locks, boats, stunningly beautiful landscapes, Swedish culture and traditions, culinary delights, exercise and relaxation. Welcome to the Göta Canal, the Swedish Construction of the Millennium! Regardless of which season you choose for your Göta Canal visit; unforgettable experiences await you.

Walk alongside the Göta Canal, rent a bicycle and cycle the canalside towpath, take a boat trip through the picturesque landscape, visit one of the cosy cafés and feel the presence of more than 200 years of Göta Canal history.

When the journey itself is the goal

Go aboard one of the canal vessels and become part of a different world. Leave stress and chores ashore. Wind down as the boat leaves the harbour and glides along the canal with a majestic calm. A Göta Canal cruise can last for anything from a few hours to almost a week. Nine passenger boats service the canal, each with its own, unique character.
