Gothenburg's major shopping street
Avenyn has long been regarded as something of a tourist trap by locals but recently the street has undergone a makeover thanks to facade renovations and new additions in the form of fashion stores, restaurants, hotels and lunch spots. Götaplatsen with its iconic sculpture of Poseidon at the top end of the street is one of the city's most famous landmarks. The street is also home to the Gothenburg Museum of Art and Gothenburg City Theatre with its Foajébaren. Restaurant-wise, options include the newly-renovated Brasserie Lipp, Ristorante Bellora with hotel and rooftop bar and Le Pain Français Bistro, to name just a few. Don't miss Avenyn's trendy parallel street Teatergatan, home to cool, intimate spots such as Poh-Keh and Jimmy & Joan's New York.

Hipstertastic and welcoming
Majorna is more than a part of town, for many it's an entire lifestyle; cultural life is alive and well here alongside lots of delightful shops and great restaurants. The area is large and stretches from Stigbergstorget, where the landmark Seafarer's Wife sculpture looks out over the entrance to the city harbour, to charming Mariaplan and Röda sten. The secondhand store Majornas Saker från Förr and deli Gudagott are just a stone's throw from the Italian neighbourhood restaurant Enoteca Maglia and it's adjacent sister bar, Vini e Liquori.

Historic shopping arcade
Arkaden has been an important part of Gothenburg's retail scene since the 1800s. Naturally a lot has happened to the department since then, but the emphasis on an enjoyable shopping experience remains. There are around 25 stores spread over three floors, mainly focusing on fashion, design, beauty and interiors. Some of the stores housed in the light, airy department store are Zara, Bolia, Nilson Shoes and Tesla.

Find what you're looking for on the square
Torget, "the square", as Gothenburgers call it, has undergone a major makeover in recent years, in terms of size, appearance and selection. The shopping centre was opened in 1966 by politician Olof Palme and since then its gone from some forty stores to 150. Browse among everything from fashion stores, sport and interiors to delis, bakeries and toy stores. There are also several restaurants and cafés. Frölunda Kulturhus next to the shopping centre includes an indoor swimming pool and library. If you're coming by car, there are two large car parks, along with a newly-built bus and tram hub.

Fashion forward
Gothenburg has masses to offer fashion-conscious women, but if you really want to find the hidden gems you'll need to look beyond the obvious shopping streets.
