Visit Gothenburg from its canals! Gothenburg was built during the 1600s by the Dutch, as they were considered the best at building on marshland. This has given Gothenburg's city centre its famous channels that are distinctly dutch-inspired. The original city was built inside a large zigzag-shaped city wall that came to characterise Gothenburg for centuries to come. The "paddan" boats offer a nice 1 hour sightseeing tour from the canals.
