By bicycle from Gothenburg to Majorna

Set off on a relaxed ride from central Gothenburg, Sweden’s lively west-coast city known for its canals, coffee culture, and charming Nordic vibes. Your destination is Majorna, a laid-back neighborhood famous for its historic wooden houses, indie shops, and vibrant community spirit.

This 5 km route keeps things super pleasant and city-friendly, sticking almost entirely to paved surfaces—mostly smooth asphalt with a sprinkling of classic Scandinavian paving stones here and there. You’ll wind along dedicated cycleways and peaceful bike paths for most of your journey, giving you a safe and enjoyable trip away from busy car traffic.

It’s mostly flat, with just a gentle rise and fall (just over 35 meters up and down), so it’s easily manageable for all skill levels and bike types. Along the way, you might catch a glimpse of Gothenburg’s famous trams, leafy parks, and—if you time it right—a beautiful waterside view.

Cruising into Majorna, you’re met with cozy cafes and colorful street art: the perfect spot to grab a fika before heading home.
