Kungsgatan

A pedestrian shopping street in central Gothenburg. You won't find the main superstores here. Smaller shops and a few larger clothing stores line the street, and most all of the area is littered with shopping pedestrians.
For that very reason the area is pretty sleepy come evening.



This shot is fired from one end of the street. From where I'm standing i have an open plaza to my left, pedestrians only as well, with pubs, cafes and restaurants claiming most of the street level windows.



Mid street. Heading away to the part where the street is no longer pedestrians only.



If you chose to walk on just as the street promises ugly blocks and few people then you'll be well rewarded within fifty meters or so. For a short stretch restaurants lie back to back.

Continue walking down the street will take you to a square, across the canal and to the large square where Linnegatan terminates.

McDonalds... Ugh.
The only reason to go to McDonalds I guess is to see what Swedish Micky-D's do differently. Do they serve beer there?
