Läppstiftet / Lilla Bommen
Informally called "the lipstick" by the local, it features a viewing platform (Götheborgsutkiken) at 86 metres, which offers great views over the city.
Kronhuset
Built in 1643-1655, and briefly home of the Swedish Parliament. It houses Göteborgs Musik, and the surrounding buildings are now cafes and crafts workshops. It is Gothenburg’s oldest still-standing non-religious building.
Deutsche Kirchengemeinde Göteborg
The church of Gothenburg's German community, built in 1748. This church is likewise the third church standing here, as the earlier ones have burned down.
Göteborgs Stadsmuseum
Covers the history of the city and region from prehistoric times to the present, with emphasis on the 19th-century Swedish East India Company, which was once housed in the building.
Göteborgs Domkyrka
Built in 1815, in the centre of old town. The seat of the Diocese of Gothenburg. It is the third church standing there – the earlier two burned down in city fires. Domkyrkoplan, the park surrounding the church, used to be the cemetery of the second church.
