Travelling in Gothenburg

By foot, bike or electric scooter
Almost everything is found withing walking distance. Explore the city by foot or rent a bike or electric scooter.  

The bike rental system Styr & Ställ makes it easy to rent a bike in Gothenburg. With the app Voi, you can locate and rent electric scooters in the city. The starting fee is 10 SEK and after that it costs you 3 SEK per minute. When you’ve located a scooter, you scan the QR code to unlock it and then you kickstart it to activate the throttle. Remember to ride in bike lanes or close to the side curb and always wear a helmet.
