Why Gothenburg Haga matters

Haga is Gothenburg's old working-class quarter turned cosy cafe district. Three-storey wooden houses with stone ground floors line cobbled lanes, and tiny shops sell design and vintage clothes. The cafes serve cinnamon buns the size of your head, which are perfect to share. It is an easy walk from the centre and is especially charming on a crisp autumn day.

Talking points

  • The area has long been a hub for cafes and shops.
  • Giant cinnamon buns are the local specialty.
  • Wooden houses with stone ground floors define the architecture.
