According to September figures from Statistics Sweden, the Swedish “fika” culture is growing like never before. More cafés are opening and more money is being spent on coffee and buns in Gothenburg, a city already known for its many cafés.
Thanks to Gothenburg’s 50,000 students, there are loads of cafés and coffee bars in the city. You’ll find everything from small, cosy bakeries and cafés to trendy coffee shops. Some places focus on their coffee, while others are specialised in cakes and buns and others yet again are situated in fantastic surroundings. But each has its own charm.
