Gothenburg is a thriving university town of picturesque canals, parks and gardens. Founded under a royal charter of Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus II in 1621, it grew into a major port. In the 18th century, the city prospered from the trade of the Swedish East India Company. That successful period is reflected in the stunning neoclassical stone houses that remain around the city’s canals. Today, a maritime and mercantile past is visible in Gothenburg’s cultural institutions, from the Gothenburg Museum of Art’s paintings to the several museums of navigation and seafaring.
