Sweden's largest amusement park since 1923, with over 40 rides including Europe's tallest free-fall tower. Hosts seasonal events like Christmas markets and Halloween attractions.
Liseberg, Sweden's largest amusement park, has been a Gothenburg landmark since 1923. You can experience over 40 rides, including the wooden roller coaster Balder and the 116-meter free-fall tower AtmosFear. The park changes with the seasons, hosting a Christmas market in winter and Halloween events in autumn to complement its summer activities.
Liseberg's rides cater to different levels of courage. On Balder, a wooden roller coaster, you'll experience why it has won international awards. AtmosFear drops you 116 meters in just 3 seconds at 110 km/h, making it Europe's tallest free-fall ride. The Helix, Scandinavia's longest and fastest roller coaster, takes you through twists and turns across the park. For a calmer experience, you can enjoy views of Gothenburg from the Liseberg Wheel.
Liseberg adapts to different seasons. From mid-November to late December, a Christmas market fills the park. Millions of lights create a festive atmosphere as you browse stalls selling Swedish handicrafts and foods, go ice skating, or meet Santa Claus. In October, you'll find Halloween-themed attractions with haunted houses, eerie decorations, and spooky versions of regular rides. From April to September, all rides operate and you can attend a full schedule of concerts.
At Liseberg, you can enjoy more than just rides. The park hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. On the main stage, Stora Scenen, you might see international stars or local favorites perform. During summer, you can be part of the audience for "Lotta på Liseberg," a popular sing-along show aired on national television. You can also attend sports events and concerts at Lisebergshallen arena or watch theatrical performances at the Liseberg Theatre.
Younger visitors can explore Kaninlandet, or Rabbit Land, an area with gentler rides and attractions. Here, children meet the park's mascots - the green Liseberg rabbits. Rides like Flygis, Cyklonen, and the classic Kaffekopparna (tea cups) provide excitement suitable for kids. At the Fairy Tale Castle, complete with knights and fair maidens, and on the Dragon Boat ride, children can embark on imaginative adventures.
You'll find over 20 places to eat at Liseberg, from quick-service counters to restaurants serving seafood and steaks. During the Christmas market, you can try Swedish holiday treats and warm up with a cup of glögg, the local mulled wine. The park has several shops where you can buy souvenirs, locally made crafts, and Liseberg-branded items.
You can reach Liseberg easily from central Gothenburg by taking tram lines 4 or 5. The park opens during three seasons: summer (April to September), Halloween (October to early November), and Christmas (mid-November to early January). You can buy admission and ride passes separately to customize your visit. Check the official Liseberg website for current prices, opening hours, and special events.
Liseberg first welcomed visitors in 1923 as part of Gothenburg's 300th-anniversary celebrations. Since then, it has grown from a small leisure park to one of Europe's leading amusement parks, with around 3 million visitors each year. You'll notice the park's iconic pink and green color scheme on many of the older buildings, colors that have become associated with fun in Gothenburg.
