The West Coast clad in autumn colours

Experience our country’s western frontier, bounded by the great ocean. The West Coast has had its character formed by centuries of fishing, stonemasonry and seafaring. It offers interesting historical insights, the special charm of the fishing villages and a delightful tang on the wind, of seaweed, tar and the salty waves. Enjoy the winding lanes, the picturesque cottages, the smooth granite of the rocks and the age-old farming landscapes. Visit Marstrand, the home of famous sailing regattas, with its imposing fortress. Allow yourself to be fascinated by tales taken from the island’s exciting history, stretching from the herring gluts to the life of high society in the days of King Oscar II.

There are no fashionable seasons in Bohuslän. Only natural seasons. ”You feel well here, body and soul" sings the West Coast sailor, poet and musician Evert Taube in his ballad Invitation to Bohuslän. Welcome the autumn with West Coast tours led by knowledgeable guides from the Gothenburg Guide Club.

Summer greetings from the Gothenburg Guide Club

In connection with our Association turning 65 this year, we are getting special attention from the general public, clients and media. Together with my guide colleague Margareta Björklund I took part in a live broadcast on P4 Gothenburg, Swedish Radio earlier this summer.

We spoke about the Association's background and range of services. We pointed out the importance of providing timely facts about today's Gothenburg on guide assignments; the development of the north and south banks of the river, the city's business life, upcoming exhibitions and entertainment events. Our aim is to give an overall picture of Gothenburg, where past and present get equal attention.

All guides and tour managers at the Gothenburg Guide Club wish you a great summer!
