Here are five (re-)openings to look forward to in Gothenburg in 2024.
– Early 2024: Fish Church market hall “Feskekörka” reopening
The Fish Church Market Hall, also known as “Feskekörka”, reopens after almost four years of renovation. This iconic seafood temple dating back to 1874 houses fishmongers, restaurants, and a bar. Vegetarian options are also available. The Fish Church will be open all year round and there will be outdoor seating in the summer. The reopening is planned for early 2024.

– Spring 2024: Waterworld Oceana opening
Oceana, part of the Liseberg amusement park, is inspired by the history of Gothenburg and will be unlike anything available in Scandinavia today.

– Spring 2024: Public sauna at the Jubileumsparken reopening
The public and free sauna in Jubileumsparken will reopen in the spring of 2024. The architecturally exceptional sauna, originally a prototype, will be replaced by a permanent sauna, but will retain its unique appearance. It is also possible to swim all year round in the recently opened two saltwater pools in the river next to the sauna. During the warmer seasons, you can also swim in a freshwater pool.
