Liseberg

A tram ride from central Gothenburg, Liseberg manages to be both a serious coaster park — Helix and Balder are excellent — and a pleasant garden to walk around, which is unusual. It suits a wide age range and works as a half-day. The Halloween and Christmas seasons are a genuine draw, with the park lit and the rides running into the dark.

Campsites that make a good base

Drive times are estimated from road distance, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

We don't have a campsite close enough to recommend for this one yet.
