Gothenburg

Gothenburg/Göteborg is the second largest city in Sweden and the fifth largest in the Nordic countries, situated by the Kattegat on the west coast of Sweden at the mouth of the river Göta älv.
In the early modern period, the configuration of Sweden's borders made Gothenburg strategically critical as the only Swedish gateway to the North Sea and Atlantic, lying on the west coast in a very narrow strip of Swedish territory between Danish Halland to the south and Norwegian Bohuslän to the north. After several failed attempts, Gothenburg was successfully founded in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus.

The city was heavily influenced by the Dutch, Germans and Scots, and Dutch planners and engineers were contracted to construct the city as they had the skills needed to drain and build in the marshy areas chosen for the city. The town was designed like Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Batavia and New Amsterdam (Manhattan Island).

As the only Swedish port with the capacity to cope with the very largest modern, ocean-going container vessels, Gothenburg handles nearly 30% of the country's foreign trade the port of Gothenburg is the most important harbour in Sweden.
