Fika with a Swede: Your Insider Guide to Enjoying Gothenburg

Moving to a new country comes with plenty of questions, some practical, some cultural, and some you don't even realize you have until you experience everyday life in Sweden.

Join us for an inspiring and informal conversation over fika with Lovisa Bohlin, Head of International House Gothenburg, as we explore what it's really like to live in Gothenburg from a local's perspective.

This interactive session goes beyond the usual newcomer information, and together, we'll chat about everyday life, local spots, and the little things that make Gothenburg feel familiar and more enjoyable.

Expect an open and engaging conversation filled with practical advice, local recommendations, and personal insights that can help you feel more at home in Gothenburg. There will also be plenty of time for your questions.

What We'll Talk About

The conversation may include topics such as:

Favourite local places, neighborhoods, and hidden gems

Getting around Gothenburg like a local

Leisure activities, nature and outdoor life

Practical tips for making the most of life in Gothenburg

The little things that make living in Sweden easier

No two conversations are ever the same, so bring your own questions and curiosity!

Who Should Attend?

This event is perfect for internationals who have recently moved to Gothenburg or anyone who would like to better understand and enjoy everyday life in Sweden. We hope you will leave with practical insights, fresh perspectives, and perhaps a few local recommendations to add to your weekend plans.

As this event takes place in the early evening, children are welcome to attend with you if this makes it easier for you to join us.

☕ Fika and light refreshments will be served.
