Beginning at Kungsportsbron, the bridge over the canal, and slicing diagonally through the city is Gothenburg’s broad and princely avenue.
It was laid out in the 1800s to link a new upmarket neighbourhood southeast of the centre with the old fortified city.
For shopping, nightlife and dining Avenyn is the cream of the crop: In the daylight hours you can potter around the chain stores, high-end fashion houses and one-of-a-king boutiques, and after dark you can paint the town red at all manner of eateries and nightspots.
