Description

Experience Gothenburg from a unique perspective as you glide along its historic canals on a classic open-air Paddan boat. This guided sightseeing cruise takes you through the heart of Sweden’s vibrant coastal city, revealing stories from its 17th-century origins.

As your boat winds beneath twenty charming bridges, your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights in both English and Swedish. Marvel at the city’s old moat, picturesque waterways, and the lively harbor, where traditional shipyards and the bustling fishing port come into view.

The tour lasts approximately 50 minutes, offering a relaxed yet immersive journey through Gothenburg’s maritime heritage. You'll also pass expanding commercial districts, academic sites, and the impressive maritime museum, all visible from the comfort of your seat.

Please dress for the weather, as the boat is open-top and exposed to the elements. Life vests are provided, with adults having the option and small children required to wear them for safety. Note that boarding requires navigating a staircase and some flexibility for low bridges.

This city canal cruise is perfect for small groups or solo travelers seeking an authentic introduction to Gothenburg. Secure your spot today and discover the city’s hidden gems from the water—spaces fill quickly, so book now to avoid missing out!

Gothenburg: Paddan Canal Boat Sightseeing

Good to know

Since the Paddan boats are completely open with no roof, it’s important to dress according to the weather. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users, as passengers must navigate a staircase of 12 steps and a few additional steps when boarding. All guests must also be able to sit on the floor or bend down with their heads between their knees when passing under the lowest bridges. A stroller can be brought on board if space allows—preferably a foldable one—and if not, it can be securely locked at the quay using locks available from the ticket shop.
