RouteXpert Review
All good things come to an end, as well as this tour divided into 14 rides, but first the 14th and last ride. The route itself is not that exciting, the first 25 KM are in through, then 30 KM in the highway, then another 30 KM in through and the last part via the highway. Gothenburg is a city in Sweden. It is the capital of the municipality of Gothenburg. It is also the capital city of Västra Götaland County in Sweden. The place has 572,799 inhabitants and an area of 19,816 hectares. The city is the second largest city in Sweden after Stockholm and has the largest port in the country.
Make sure you are on time for the check-in, see the 'link' below the review for the departure and check-in times.
If you are in Gothenburg on time, you can, for example, visit the Old Älvsborg or Älvsborg Castle. This was an important fortification facility at the outlet of the Göta River from 1300 to 1600. The fort was located on the south side of the river, just west of the recently built Gothenburg at the place where Klippan (which is part of the primary area of Kungsladugård) today. Nowadays it is a ruin and the remains that are still visible are from the Renaissance castle. Various cafes in the immediate vicinity
Once back at the hotel, you can still enjoy the lake and review this route.
In this 4 star route you mainly drive on good roads, not an exciting route, but time to visit Gothenburg. Make sure you check in on time!
