Gothenburg - Sweden

Gothenburg is Sweden's second largest city, located on the west coast at the mouth of the Göta River. Gothenburg was founded in the 17th century by King Gustav II Adolf and has a long history. Gothenburg's buildings have grown together with surrounding suburbs and form the urban area of Gothenburg. Gothenburg is mostly located in the municipality of Gothenburg, but the central areas of the municipalities of Mölndal and Partille are also included. In the 17th century, the Dutch called Gothenburg New Amsterdam for a period due to the urban planning. Gothenburg is sometimes still called "Little London", which originates from the 19th century when Gothenburg was industrialized with the help of, among others, British immigrants who also participated in the city's development from the very beginning.
