Step aboard a classic Paddan boat for a 2-hour live-guided sightseeing cruise through Gothenburg’s waterways and into the tranquil river Säveån. Departing from Kungsportsplatsen in the city centre, this scenic boat tour takes you through the moats and towards Gothenburg’s magnificent harbour before reaching the entrance to Säveån, often called the “Amazon of Gothenburg.”

Leave the city bustle behind as you cruise through one of Gothenburg’s greenest and most peaceful areas. The riverbanks are lined with old wooden boats, willow trees, flourishing allotments, and rich flora and fauna unique to the area. Keep an eye out—you may even spot a beaver among the trees.

Your Stromma guide provides live commentary in English and Swedish, sharing stories and fascinating facts about the places you pass. Discover historic quays, shipyards, and buildings that have shaped both Gothenburg and Sweden, as well as charming local landmarks such as the Estoniavarvet boat club and its old wooden jetties.

This guided Gothenburg boat tour is ideal for travellers looking to experience the city from a different perspective, combining local history, calm waterways, and nature close to the city centre. Book your Paddan Säveån sightseeing cruise with Stromma and explore Gothenburg’s hidden green waterways.
