Hey guys, I'm heading to Göteborg in late January with 3 friends. All I hear about is how expensive everything is.
I'm from Dublin, which is hardly the cheapest place in the world. Will I notice a dent in my wallet or am I already used to it?
For instance, how much is a pint/330ml or a meal?

Also, if anyone can suggest anything that we must do, I am open to offers.

Thanks a lot guys

Hi there, I will be in Goteborg for Christmas and New year. I wonder where I can have those traditional Swedish Christmas buffet? Anywhere you can recommend? Not so expensive please...

And is there any short trips (1 or 2 days) outside town I should go for a visit? Or just can you give me some suggestions in what to do during my two weeks in Goteborg? People have suggested me to go to Copenhagen as it is very close, is it so?

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

I'm currently in Gothenburg and will be here till may 2008. I'm very interested in Dairy farms and equipment. can anyone give me some advice on where i can find dairy farms and dairy farm equipment near Gothenburg or away from Gothenburg. In which part of Sweden do you have the most dairy farms?

I'm traveling to Goteborg on 05-12-07 (December) arriving at the city airport at 21:00 (9:00 PM) and will be staying at the Ibis hotel (the boat) for two nights, then taking the train to Oslo on 07-12-07 in the morning (7:00) (7 AM).

My questions are:

What is the easiest way to get to the Christmas market at Lisberg? (I understand you take the #5 tram from downtown--is that correct?). Also, can anyone recommend what to do in a single day in Goteborg--apparently browsing the streets and visiting the natural history museum are two things to do--but also I understand there are some interesting cafes and architectural areas.
Lastly, how difficult (and safe) is it to walk to the Ibis from the train station late at night in the winter in Goteborg--and if not safe, how do I get there--a taxi? a bus? a tram?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I've read that the 'stuffed' blue whale here is the only one of it's kind in the world? True? (www.gnm.se)

Worth a peek?

Off course, whilst in the area, I'll chk out the old Stock Exchange & views from the 'red lipstick' bldg :)

Other sights worth a glance in the immediate vicinity please?

Thank you.
