About Lundby
Where to stay in Lundby
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Stay here for the island side. Lundby suits visitors who want a quieter base in northern Gothenburg, with the waterfront quarters of Lindholmen and Sannegården nearby and the centre a short hop across the channel. If you prefer the residential island over the busy core at Nordstaden, this district is a calm, well-connected choice.
About Lundby
What are the main landmarks in Lundby?
The draw here is the waterfront. Lundby gives onto the channel that separates the island from central Gothenburg, with the redeveloped quays of Lindholmen and Sannegården close by along the same northern shore. From the district the old core at Nordstaden lies just across the water.
What is the history of Lundby?
Industry shaped this shore. Lundby grew as the working northern flank of Gothenburg, its yards and workshops drawing labour to the island long before the modern quarters of Lindholmen and Sannegården turned to offices and homes. Older than the city across the water.
The district kept that hard-edged, shipbuilding character for generations.
Where is Lundby?
It lies on the far bank. Lundby spreads across northern Gothenburg on the large island that faces the old centre, sharing that shore with the neighbouring districts of Lindholmen and Sannegården while the Nordstaden core sits opposite to the south. The setting is south-western Sweden.
