Paddan on Säveån
Overview
Experience one of Gothenburg’s most scenic waterways on a two‑hour live‑guided boat tour along Säveån, often called the city’s own “Amazon.”
Departing from Kungsportsplatsen, the classic Paddan boat takes you through the historic moat and Great Harbor Canal before reaching the Göta River and continuing into Säveån’s lush, wildlife‑rich landscape.
As you glide past willow trees, old wooden boats and vibrant flora, the guide shares stories in Swedish and English about Gothenburg’s maritime heritage, historic quays and landmarks. With some luck, you may spot a beaver along the riverbank.
The open‑top boat offers clear views, and dressing for the weather is recommended. This peaceful tour is perfect for anyone wanting to explore Gothenburg’s natural beauty beyond the city center.
