Gothenburg is a coastal city in Western Sweden known for being the headquarters of Volvo and having some of the best seafood on the planet. There is plenty to do in Gothenburg, which is also the largest non-capital city in Sweden, including visiting Liseberg, which is the largest amusement park in all of Scandinavia.
Take a day trip from Stockholm to visit the Gothenburg archipelago, which can be visited by ferry, personal vehicle, or group bus. There are so many waterways through Gothenburg you can also explore the city by kayak or boat tour. Make sure to visit the Haga neighborhood where you'll find cafes and artisan shops. If you're visiting with the family, visit the world-famous Universeum where you'll find a rainforest, aquarium, and zoo, all under one roof.
