First impression of Gothenburg, Sweden - Guest post

Gothenburg, Sweden is one of my favourite places. I've been visiting it since 2008. That year I lived and worked there, and fell in love with the city.

The first thing that I noticed about Gothenburg is that it is so green when viewed from the air. An endless forest.

Despite being the second largest city in Sweden it gave me a feeling of a small town. There was an atmosphere of calmness and relaxation. It looked to me that road traffic almost didn't exist. That created the impression of eternal weekend. It was almost impossible to feel stressed there.

This is how typical housing blocks in the city look like.



Interestingly sometimes there are no streets between the blocks. They are built on a hilly terrain. Like some giant just pined them up in the forest. I tried sometimes to walk to the city centre, but at some places it was very difficult to cross the terrain.

Sometimes I could spot rabbits and deers through the window.
Because of the calmness and tranquillity, one thing that I could always had for sure was a good sleep.
