However, on the return trip, it was necessary to get on at the beginning of the route at Central Station, as the bus filled up very quickly on a Friday afternoon, and passengers waiting at stops further along…”
Ride Gothenburg by bike with a guide in English or Swedish. See Einstein sites, the World Exhibition, Haga, and Linnégatan.
