The Gothenburg Cathedral, also known as the Gustavi Domkyrka, is a significant religious landmark in the heart of Gothenburg, with its origins tracing back to the 19th century. The cathedral's striking architecture, featuring a combination of Gothic and neoclassical elements, captivates visitors. The Gothenburg Cathedral plays an integral role in the local community, hosting religious services, concerts, and cultural events. However, the current church is actually the third iteration, as both previous cathedrals were destroyed by fires in 1721 and 1802. The third and current cathedral was completed in 1815, with the tower added in 1825. Over the years, extensive restorations and renovations have taken place, ensuring the preservation and continued grandeur of this historical site.

Las Catalinas is a new beach town developed in 2006 along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Its purpose is to create a way of life that is healthy, sustainable, fulfilling and fun. In practical terms, it means that Las Catalinas was founded based on the principles of New Urbanism — a compact, car-free and fully walkable town within easy reach of the beach. A maze of small shaded streets connects houses, shops, restaurants, small hotels and inns, pedestrian streets, plazas, parks, and recreational facilities — all surrounded by a lush rainforest. On the other side is the Pacific Ocean, where you'll find two of the finest beaches in all of Costa Rica with great swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, boogie boarding, and snorkelling. Don't miss out on the opportunity to go diving next to the Las Catalinas islands!

The seaside promenade is a lovely hiking trail along the coast in central Karlshamn. It is about 2 kilometres long and starts at the statue of the emigrants, Karl Oskar and Kristina, in Näsviken.

Along the trail, there are several public barbecue spots and places with great views to enjoy. Along the way, you'll also pass by Cafe Villa Utsikten (only open in the summer, but a very nice viewpoint all year round), paddle courts, Väggabadet (swimming pools) and Karlshamn’s Kallbadhus (outdoor swimming bath).
