New! See Gothenburg from the top of the Nordics' tallest building

Take in spectacular views from Gothenburg View, the new visitor attraction at the top of Karlatornet, the tallest building in the Nordics. Ride the lift to the 69th floor, 220 metres above the ground, and enjoy panoramic views of Gothenburg, the archipelago and the surrounding landscapes. For an extra thrill, step onto the Glass Box, a glass platform that extends beyond the building, giving you the feeling of floating above the city. There's also a café, bar and exhibitions about Karlatornet.
