Gothenburg, Sweden |
Described by some as the Melbourne to Stockholm’s Sydney, Gothenburg is generally considered to be the coolest city in Sweden. Certainly if you like a Swedish indie pop band, chances are they’ll be from Gothenburg. The city’s most famous son, Jens Lekman, croons a barbed eulogy to Gothenburg’s Central Station in “Black Cab”, while the likes of Irene, Sambassadeur, Love Is All and The Salty Pirates (to name just a few) all hail from these parts. You’ll find the weekend busiest when it comes to clubs and gigs, but there are plenty of record shops and cool cafes to keep you busy for the rest of the time. |
