Cycling along the Göta Canal

Voted best cycle path in Europe for 2025, the cycle path along the Göta Canal is a daydream. You cycle on the old towpath, completely free of cars, between historic locks and small harbours. It is the perfect route for families and those who want to enjoy the Västergötland landscape to the rhythm of the pedals, perhaps alternating between cycling and a boat ride. Various cycling packages are available, including bike rental, dinners, overnight stays and, sometimes, atmospheric canal boat trips.
