Why Gothenburg is better than Stockholm

I’m currently in Sweden’s second city – Gothenburg – on the country’s west coast.

Home to 600,000 people, Gothenburg isn’t huge but the rivalry towards Stockholm seems to be. So out of curiosity I googled ‘what’s so good about Gothenburg‘ and I stumbled upon an article entitled ‘10 reasons why you should visit Gothenburg over Stockholm.‘

These are the reasons it cited. What do you think? Is there truth in it? Is Gothenburg better?

• It’s cheaper
• It’s less crowded
• It’s closer to the continent
• Better seafood
• A better theme park
• Better independent cafes
• Better football
• The music scene
• The Way Out West festival
• The people are nicer
