What you can expect

Experience Gothenburg from a unique waterside perspective on the classic Paddan boat tour, one of the city’s most iconic sightseeing experiences. Departing from Kungsportsplatsen in the heart of Gothenburg, the tour takes you through the historic moat and canals dating back to the 17th century, offering insights into the city’s construction, defence and maritime heritage. With live guiding in English, the tour blends history with humour as you glide beneath more than 20 low bridges and continue out towards the bustling harbour.

Along the way, you’ll pass traditional shipyards, the fishing harbour, modern and historic residential areas, as well as expanding commercial and academic districts. The open‑top boats provide unobstructed views, so dressing for the weather is recommended. This classic Paddan tour is a must for anyone wanting to explore Gothenburg’s waterways and discover the city’s rich coastal character.

Departures every 30 minutes or hourly between approximately 11:00–17:00.
