Hi,

Ill be visiting this summer and was planning on getting a travel card to help me travel around on the trams and buses. I will be landing at Landvetter airport and i also want to visit a Molnlyke on another day. Does the travel card stretch as far as Molnlyke and the airport? I have looked at the Vasttrafik website but they don't appear to be very clear. Cheers!

can you tell me how i get from nils erickson to ulricehamn please ,which bus and do i have to change buses

Will be visiting Gothenburg and Stockholm soon for 1 day each (cruise), does anyone know if taxi drivers accept credit cards in both or either cities.

i, will be visiting Gothenburg on cruise in May for 1 day, 7 - 3pm so time is precious. Would like to visit the Botanical Gardens, not sure where the Royal C ships dock, would we be better going to central stn and start from there. preferably by tram, but will use the bus. Been on Vastrafik web site, but am not sure about the 1 day blue tickets, have info where to buy from - Vastrafik service centres, 7 eleven or Pressbyran shops, but don't know where these places are. or how much or would we be better paying normal fare, the web site is not clear. Help please, any info would be appreciated.

I'm traveling to Sweden and/or Denmark in June 2012 with my wife and 8 month old daughter for about 9-10 days. We are renting a car and hope to see a mix of countryside, small towns, coastline, historic sights, natural beauty, and "must-sees" in the area. We want to spend time outdoors, but with a small baby, we can't do intense hikes, canoe trips, etc. Also, we'd like to spend some time in a big city or two, but also want to drive out and get away from the crowds. I have three possible itineraries that I'm having trouble deciding on. For those who have been to Scandinavia, which option would you choose and why? And do you have any particular recommendations along each path? Also, I know each option goes almost all the way up to Oslo, but I am not inclined to go that far; seems like just another big, expensive city. OPTION 1: Copenhagen -> Gothenburg (through Sweden) Couple days in Copenhagen, take the ferry from Helsingor into Sweden. Malmo, Foteviken Viking Reserve, Ystad in the south, then swing up north along the coast. Go up to Stromstad, ferry into the Koster Islands, Tanum, Smogen, and Gothenburg the last couple of days. OPTION 2: Copenhagen -> Gothenburg (through Denmark) Couple days in Copenhagen, head west through Roskilde to Odense / Egeskov castle. Up to Aarhus, north to Frederikshavn, ferry over to Sweden. The second half is the same as option 1 (Stromstad, Tanum, Smogen, Gothenburg). OPTION 3: Stockholm -> Gothenburg Couple days in Stockholm, up to Sigtuna or Uppsala, stay in Orebro or a small town nearby. West to Lake Varnem, Lacko Slott, Uddevalla, Stromstad, The rest is the same as the other two options.

Hello everyone. Will be in Göteborg, for 8 days next week onward. Would like it if you all can give me ideas &/or lead me to useful links on your/others pages. A) What would be a good way to spend evenings (just for a stroll/a post-dinner walks)? B) I may get a chance to do a day trip or two during this period. So please throw at me the options - interests: landscape; history; culture; OR a must-have local food preparation/meat; beer tasting. Is an Oslo day-trip a good idea? I will use public transport. Awaiting the responses!

Hi, I'm coming to Goteborg in May for the Swedish Speedway Grand Prix with my 14 year old son...but trying to do it on a budget. We'll have two days to also discover Goteborg and I was thinking about going to the art galleries (which I think are free) and a few other central things....I have lots of questions! 1) What would be a good idea for something to do on a Sunday Morning in Goteborg? 2) I'm a bit confused about the public transport system as the Vasttrafik website is not very clear...Do 14 year olds travel free on all public transport, or is it only if I buy a one-day or three day card?...Is there a two day card? 3) I can't find a downloadbale tram map..any links? 4) Is it best to travel to the Uwelli Stadium by tram...or is that a bad idea for big crowd events...can you walk there from the centralstation Thanks for any help!

Hi, After looking at different options I'm feeling increasingly confused :( It seems that travelling by plane is cheaper than taking a train. Is this possible? I would prefer a train so maybe I'm looking at a wrong site? Or maybe a car is the best alternative as there will be 3 of us? Day and time of travel: 6 October, afternoon prefered. Ta.
