Gothenburg is the largest port on Sweden's west coast and the country's second city after Stockholm. Canals laid out by Dutch engineers still shape the centre, while the wooden-fronted streets of the Haga district and the rocky archipelago just offshore make up two very different sides of a visit. Turkish Airlines and Pegasus fly direct from Istanbul and Antalya, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 40 minutes. Getting around the city is mostly done by tram.
