Gothenburg is characterized by its rich surrounding nature. Thus, enjoying the most beautiful parks in Scandinavia or trying out canoeing on one of more than 50 lakes, is within arm’s reach. At the theme park Liseberg, you can have fun and enjoy headspinning rides, as well as numerous concerts in summer. In November, however, the park opens its large Christmas market. At the Universeum, which is a huge aquarium and rainforest, you can go on a safari and learn about a variety of exotic animals and plants - all under one roof. The industry is based on maritime, motor vehicle production (Volvo), steel, iron and textile industries.
