Our next stop was Göteborg. (In Swedish, a "g" is pronounced like a "y" and "ö" is pronounced "uh," so it is pronounced "yuh-tuh-BOH-ry.") The first place we visited was the Haga, which is a neighborhood that was first established in the mid 1600s. Since it was outside the city wall, it became Göteborg's first suburb. As much as possible the original architecture has been preserved and it is now a popular shopping area.
Our favorite shop was Café Husaren...
...which claims to have the world's largest cinnamon buns. I don't know if they're the biggest, but they're definitely tasty. They look like they have salt sprinkled on top (like a pretzel), but it's really sugar.
Just south of the Haga, on a hill overlooking it, is the Skansen Kronan -- a fortress that was built in 1698 with 23 cannons to protect the south end of Göteborg.
Of course I climbed up the hill to get these pictures of the city.
Göteborg's famous fish market, Feskekörka (literally translated as "Fish Church" because it resembles a gothic church), was built in 1874.
Alice made friends with all the statues outside.
