The very heart of Gothenburg is intersected by the Avenyn (Kungsportsavenyn), which actually crosses over one of the city's remaining historic canals. This prominent thoroughfare leads all the way to the Götaplatsen and is lined with charming boutiques, pavement cafes and theatres. Nearby and in this part of Gothenburg you will find the busy central train station, and also the bustling Nordstan shopping centre, where an excellent selection of shops await.
