Overview
Gothenburg's main 1km boulevard, sometimes called its 'Champs-Élysées,' runs from Götaplatsen Square to Kungsportsbron bridge. The Poseidon statue by Carl Milles at Götaplatsen is the avenue's symbol, surrounded by the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the city theatre, and the Concert Hall — together forming the cultural heart of the city. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and clubs line the entire street, making it the city's main nightlife spot. Free to wander. Multiple tram lines stop at Avenyn.
