Pet-friendly Gothenburg
Gothenburg feels more relaxed than Stockholm and just as useful for a pet: big parks, a tram network, and houses with actual gardens.
Slottsskogen is the city park people mean when they say there is room to run. The archipelago is the reward if you have a full day and a host who knows which boats take animals. A garden villa on the edge of town is often an easier yes than a central hotel.
Trams are part of daily life. Rules for pets change, and a rush-hour carriage is a poor place to test them. Travel off-peak, keep the leash short, and have a backup walk if the driver says no.
Pet notes
- Lawns in Slottsskogen are the easy morning plan.
- Garden stays should say whether the fence actually closes.
- Archipelago day trips need a boat-by-boat pet check.
