As you travel through the Haga neighborhood, which is thought to be Gothenburg's oldest neighborhood, you'll be transported back in time and relive centuries-old memories. The entire area reflects the city's earlier culture and social structure. The Skansen Kronan, a historic stronghold on top of a hill, is also nearby. The Bohus Fortress, built in 1308 and withstood the test of time, is another significant landmark in the city.
