Street in Gothenburg
Haga is Gothenburg’s oldest neighborhood, a pedestrian street of wooden houses, vintage shops, cafes, and the Hagabadet (a historic public bathhouse). Free to walk. The cafes serve the famous Haga cinnamon bun (a plate-sized pastry for a few euros). Budget travelers walk Haga, eat a giant cinnamon bun, and discover that Gothenburg’s charm is quieter and cheaper than Stockholm’s.
