On my train ride back to Stockholm, I had to stop over in Gothenburg.  Since I was already there, I decided to take a later train and explore the city.  My 3 hour layover turned out to be really fun.  I walked on the Avenyn, which is known to have the coolest shops in town and the trendiest restaurants.  On my way there, I saw a sign for Paddan boat tour.  I recall that Frommer highly recommended it.  So I hopped on the next tour. 

The boat ride was amazing.  The canals around the city were narrow and the birdges were low.  At some bridges, everyone had to squat on the floor when we passed the bridge (The Cheese Grater Bridge).  The tour showed us everything from islands to old buildings.  I feel like I have been to every part of the city on foot.
