Why choose Gothenburg for your road trip

Gothenburg — a city worth exploring

Göteborg's Feskekôrka, a fish market shaped like a Gothic church, has been a landmark on the Rosenlund Canal since 1874. Sweden's second-largest city blends maritime heritage with modern creativity, and there is plenty to discover on four wheels. Stroll through the Haga district with its cobblestone lanes and cinnamon bun cafés, then head to the Universeum science centre for hands-on exhibits and a tropical rainforest under glass. Art lovers will find world-class collections at the Gothenburg Museum of Art on Götaplatsen, while families can spend a full day at Liseberg amusement park. The coastline stretching west towards the archipelago is ideal for motorhome travel — wide roads lead to harbourside villages where you can park up and watch the sunset over granite islands. Malmö sits roughly 270 km to the south, and the lakeside town of Jönköping is about 150 km to the east, making both excellent side-trip options. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire a campervan directly from a local owner in the Göteborg area, often picking up from a residential neighbourhood rather than a distant depot. That personal touch means insider tips on the best coastal routes and overnight spots. Whether you are planning a weekend escape along the Bohuslän coast or a longer Swedish adventure, renting a campervan in Göteborg puts you right where the journey begins.

Best time to visit

Göteborg comes alive from May to September, when long daylight hours make every road trip feel endless. The Gothenburg Culture Festival in August fills the city centre with free concerts, street food and performances — a great reason to time your visit. If you prefer quieter roads, June and early September offer warm days with fewer fellow travellers. During the Christmas season, Liseberg transforms into a sparkling winter market worth a detour. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa's peer-to-peer model often means more flexible pricing outside peak summer weeks, so booking a trip in late spring or early autumn can be especially rewarding. Plan ahead for July, the most popular month for campervan travel in Göteborg.

It was our first time traveling with a camper, and renting this one for our trip around Mallorca turned out to be an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. The camper was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, which made our first camper trip easy and enjoyable. Communication with Gustavo was excellent from start to finish. He always responded very quickly, was friendly and helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He also shared some fantastic recommendations for places to visit and park around the island, which made our trip even better. We couldn't have asked for a better first camper experience and would highly recommend both the camper and Gustavo to anyone planning a trip to Mallorca. We would happily rent it again in the future!

It was perfect. The owner is a very nice guy who picked us up from Funchal to get to Machico and explained everything about the car. The car included everything that was needed for our roadtrip. The tent is spacious and the amenities were of good quality. Overall it was an amazing experience to enjoy the island this way!

Il viaggio e l'esperienza con il van di Luis a Madeira è stata fantastica. Se hai un po' di esperienza alla guida con questo van puoi raggiungere tutti i più bei posti di Madeira nonostante le strade non siano sempre semplici a causa di ripide salite e discese. Il proprietario, Luis, è una persona adorabile e molto gentile e disponibile, sempre pronto a rispondere a qualsiasi dubbio. Madeira è molto van friendly e abbiamo dormito in posti con viste mozzafiato senza nessun problema. Nel van troverai qualsiasi cosa di cui tu possa aver bisogno, assolutamente consigliato!
