Lindholmen - Lilla Bommen

And we're heading back across the river to the city centre.



A few items from the ship building era are still left and operational.



Even though the presence of the harbour is long gone from the southern shore it still shows that this was once part of the industry.



A shot upstream. You can see how the weather changes as soon as it reaches the hills.



Close to Järntoret. Clear skies above the sea.



The maritime museum. All ships are open for visitors.



Gothenburg opera house with its restaurant.



The barque Viking with offices and Göta Älvbron in the background. The permanently anchored ship holds a restaurant with a personal memory for me -- we held our wedding party there.



The centre most guest harbour in the city. Östra Nordstan's parking house in the background. Östra Nordstan is a large shopping centre under one roof. Just about as ugly as it is practical.



We're making landfall at Lilla Bommen. The red building ahead holds a touristy rstaurant and a ticket office for boat trips to the archipelago. These boat trips are not part of the public transport system but rather thematic experiences with or without food included in the fare.
Don't despair. A large number of ferries transport peope to and from the islands, and those ferries are definitely part of the public transports of Gothenburg, with prices documented earlier here on this blog.
