Best neighbourhoods in Gothenburg with a dog

Inom Vallgraven & Avenyn

In central Gothenburg you stay close to the Garden Society and Kungsparken — two green lungs in the city. Clarion Post by Drottningtorget is one of the most dog-friendly hotels, with pool, rooftop bar and large rooms.

Vasastan & Linné

Vasastan is the most charming neighbourhood with art-nouveau architecture, dog-friendly cafés and two minutes to Slottsskogen. Hotel Pigalle and Upper House (Gothia Towers) are among the best dog-friendly boutique hotels.

Hisingen & Lindholmen

On Lindholmen the hotels are newer and better value. The river ferry is free and accepts dogs. Good for longer stays.

Slottsskogen and other dog parks

Slottsskogen is Gothenburg's largest green area with several fenced dog parks — the largest near Lilla Änggården. Other popular spots: Keillers park on Hisingen, Änggårdsbergen and Delsjön (hiking trails).

Getting to and around Gothenburg with a dog

Västtrafik allows dogs free of charge on trams, buses and ferries. Pick the last carriage on the tram where it is marked with a dog symbol. SJ trains from Stockholm have dog carriages — book ahead.

Price and season

Summer and event weekends (Way Out West, Gothia Cup) are peak — book 2–3 months ahead. Pet fees in Gothenburg are typically 200–350 SEK per night at chain hotels, with boutique hotels often more generous.

Dog beaches and day trips from Gothenburg

Askimsbadet (south end), Saltholmen dog beach and Smithska udden are popular dog beaches. The archipelago — Brännö, Styrsö and Vrångö — is 30–60 minutes away on Styrsöbolaget ferries that take dogs for free.
