Every time I visit Gothenburg, whether it is for the day or a longer stay, I always have to stop by Haga. It is undoubtedly my favourite part of the city. Unfortunately everyone else’s too, so be prepared for packed streets during the summer months and on weekends. And it is no wonder why this neighbourhood is so popular with tourists, and locals – it is a highly sought after area to live in. With its adorable 1800s low-rises housing small speciality shops and cinnamon bun cafes along cobblestoned streets, it is a nice break from the more busy life that you’ll find elsewhere in the city, which funny enough is not that far away. Downside to this lovely part of the world is that it is small, with most of it based around one longitudinal street with a couple of side streets only.
