Liseberg

Liseberg is an amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden. Opened in 1923, it is one of the oldest and most visited amusement parks in Scandinavia. The park is owned and operated by Liseberg AB, a municipal company owned by the City of Gothenburg, and it functions as a major tourist and cultural venue in the region.

The park is located in central Gothenburg along the Göta älv river, on a hillside that provides varied terrain and city views. It encompasses a mix of rides, attractions, gardens, and entertainment venues, offering options for families as well as thrill-seekers. Notable features include a wooden roller coaster and several modern steel coasters, along with other rides, a Ferris wheel, and live entertainment spaces. In addition to attractions, Liseberg hosts concerts, shows, restaurants, and seasonal events.

Seasonality is a characteristic of the park, with extended operations during the warmer months and special events year-round. A prominent example is the Liseberg Christmas Market, which takes place in winter and draws visitors from across the region. The park is widely regarded as a central element of Gothenburg’s tourism infrastructure and serves as a key cultural and entertainment venue in Sweden.
