Our lovely Gothenburg
The capital of Sweden is of course Stockholm, but I’ll tell you about Gothenburg instead because it’s here we live. For many years from now warred Gothenburg and Stockholm who would het the title “Capital of Sweden”.
Gothenburg was so close to winning, but in the end Stockholm took the victory. The year was 1436 when we presented Stockholm as the capital of Sweden.
Gothenburg is a really beautiful city and there you can meet all sorts of people. There is a lot of cozy cafés. My favorite place is called “The Vanilla”. My friends and I often go there, just to relax from all the problems or just talking. Both Gothenburg and Stockholm, or why not the whole Sweden. We offer very nice and pleasant café locations. There is a high standard and it really nice like a café should be.
I almost forgot to tell you about “Espresso House”. Our lovely “Espresso House”. It’s like the Swedish “Starbucks”.
“Espresso House” is the largest coffee company here in Sweden. It’s a very pleasant place to eat or take a coffee. I really feel like home when I sit there with my friends or maybe a family member.
I always know what to order, because the menu is stuck on my brain.
Liseberg is Scandinavia's biggest amusement Park, located in Gothenburg. The park is run as a company, entirely may of Gothenburg's municipality. It was inaugurated in Gothenburg May 8, 1923. The summer season stretches itself from the end of April to the centers of October, and Christmas on Liseberg from the centers of November until Christmas. Liseberg is the most popular place you can visit in Sweden.
The name Liseberg comes from the business man Johan Anders Lamberg, who owns the area where Liseberg is located. His wife name was Elisabeth Söderberg, but he called her Lisa. Around 1753 Johan baptized he the area to “Lisas Berg”, but became to called “Liseberg” a few years later.
