Only a five minute walk from Götaplatsen to Korsvägen, is Universeum Science Discovery Centre, with everything from sharks and rain forests to exciting experiments. The Museum of World Culture (Världskulturmuseet) hosts varied, thematic exhibitions reflecting the concept of world culture in its five different galleries.

The Röhsska Museum, on Vasagatan corner of Avenyn, is the national museum of fashion, design and decorative arts. There are many contemporary exhibitions and the permanent collections include the history of design, Göteborg City Museum (Göteborgs stadsmuseum) is one of the country’s great cultural-history museums. See the Viking ship or the history of industry and theatre. Göteborg Opera House (Göteborgsoperan) is one of the world’s most modern opera houses. Top-quality opera, dance, musicals and operettas.

On and around Avenyn is where Göteborg’s largest and most high-spirited entertainment areas are to be found, with nightclubs, bars and pubs. There is a bit more of an informal mixture in Haga old town and the Linné district, with slightly more miscellaneous, relaxed styles. No nightclubs, but many congenial watering holes, especially along Linnégatan. Vasastan has become an alternative entertainment area to Avenyn. Here is where you find trendy bars, pubs and small restaurants by Vasaplatsen and around the Vasa/Viktoriagatan hub. Magasinsgatan also has a popular nightlife.
