Founded in 1621 by King Gustav II Adolf, Gothenburg was strategically established as Sweden's gateway to the west. The city was designed with Dutch-inspired canals that remain central to its character today. As a major trading port, Gothenburg's maritime heritage shaped its prosperity and cultural identity. Swedish engineering and industrial innovation flourished here, while the city maintained strong connections to both Scandinavian and continental European traditions.

The blend of working-class roots and merchant wealth created a distinctive character that remains evident in Gothenburg's unpretentious yet culturally rich atmosphere.
