Kungsportsavenyen, Gothenburg's main boulevard, mostly known as Avenyn, is not only a centre for entertainment, but this upscale neighbourhood also offers exclusive boutiques and clothing stores. It stretches from the Kungsportsbron bridge to Götaplatsen situated near the Museum of Art, the City Theatre, the Concert Hall, and the Poseidon statue. Avenyn is lined with shops, cosy cafés, renowned restaurants, and popular bars. It gets extra lively here in the summer when holidaymakers enjoy the bar and restaurant life, spilling onto the terraces, giving the atmosphere a very electric yet relaxing feel.

Opened in 1934, the Gothenburg City Theatre is Sweden's oldest of its kind and one of the country's largest dramatical theatres.

Old Toy Museum of Mexico the offers a vast, rambling and eclectic collection of toys spanning 4 floors. Everything from Barbie to old, rustic hand-made toys, plus a souvenir shop. The presentation appears random at first, but there is specific intent behind every composition — to peak your attention, overwhelm with the sheer amount of detail, surprise and pluck at the strings of your nostalgia. It's strange and wonderful and totally worth the admission.
