Where to stay in Sannegården
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The waterfront draws its own stays. Sannegården holds rooms among the converted yards, a quieter base near Eriksbergs Kulturbåtshamn and Sjömanstornet than the crowded centre of Gothenburg. If you want the old harbour at the door, this quarter suits, the rest of Gothenburg an easy crossing away by tram and ferry.

About Sannegården
What are the main landmarks in Sannegården?
Sjömanstornet, the seafarers' tower, rises over the district, while Eriksbergs Kulturbåtshamn keeps its old boats along the water and Lundby nya kyrka and S:t Johanneskyrkan hold the parishes nearby. Sjöfartsmuseet Akvariet and the Radiomuseet, Göteborg sit within easy reach. The old harbour gives the place its character.
What is the history of Sannegården?
Shipbuilding shaped this corner. Sannegården grew with the yards along the Gothenburg waterfront, the trade that the Varvshistoriska föreningen i Göteborg keeps alive and the Pennsylvaniamonumentet recalls from the old harbour years. The parish of Lundby gamla kyrka long held the older country inland.
The cranes have since given way to homes.
Where is Sannegården?
