Liseberg overview

Liseberg at a glance

Sweden's much-loved garden park in Gothenburg, with excellent wooden coasters.

Liseberg is a hillside garden park in central Gothenburg where flowerbeds, live music stages and fine dining coexist with Balder and Helix, two coasters that regularly place in global top tens. The Christmas market season transforms the park into Northern Europe's most atmospheric winter event.

BEST TIME TO VISIT · Summer

Our editor's recommendation

Yes, if you already have a reason to be in the region. It ranks #13 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.9/10 with 42 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 6 hours. Tickets run $38–$66 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its big-ticket thrill rides and short queues. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get. Best time to visit: Summer.
