A
Hagakyrkan
The park behind the beautiful 19th-century Hagakyrkan is home to a simple yet moving monument to Swedish hero Raoul Wallenberg. A Nordic Schindler of sorts, Wallenberg is credited with saving the lives of around 15,000 Hungarian Jews during WWII. Wallenberg himself was arrested by the Russian government in 1945 and executed two years later.

B
Oscar Fredriks Kyrka
A short walk further west, the Linné district holds fast to its grungy roots, especially along the Långgatan streets. Looking out over the ’hood is the spindly, neo-Gothic Oscar Fredriks kyrka, another 19th-century ecclesial creation.

C
Masthuggskyrkan
One of Göteborg’s most distinctive buildings, Masthuggskyrkan is a welcome landmark for sailors and a smashing viewpoint over the western half of the city. Completed in 1914, its interior resembles an upturned boat.
