Gothenburg: Paddan Sightseeing Cruise on the River Säveån

See Gothenburg from a new perspective on this 2-hour guided Paddan cruise along the city’s waterways and the peaceful Säveån River. Depart from Kungsportsplatsen and travel through the moat and harbour before entering Säveån, known as the “Amazon of Gothenburg” for its lush scenery and abundant wildlife.

Relax aboard a classic open-air Paddan boat as you pass leafy riverbanks, historic quays, shipyards, wooden boats, and allotment gardens. Look out for local wildlife, including the possibility of spotting a beaver. Along the way, your Stromma guide shares stories about Gothenburg’s maritime heritage and the landmarks that have shaped the city.

With live commentary in English and Swedish, this scenic cruise is an ideal way to combine sightseeing, local history, and nature—all just moments from central Gothenburg.
