Gothenburg 400 : an illustrated history

Gothenburg is an amazing place. This book takes readers on a journey through time spanning 400 years – from the city’s founding by Sweden’s king Gustavus Adolphus to today’s dynamic metropolis. Packed with unique photographs, this is the most comprehensive illustrated book ever created about Gothenburg and its history.
