It is an indoor market which specializes in selling of fishes and only fishes. Other than fishes, Gothenburg city is the city with highest number of cafes and coffee shops in Sweden. This business is flourishing so much in Gothenburg because major part of Gothenburg’s population is made up of students. Everybody knows that studies and coffees make up a ‘good, not good but excellent’ combination.
Gothenburg city holds its characteristic of being close to the nature. Probably, this is the reason why people coming to Sweden are inclined more towards it and its nature rather than going to other high flying cities in Sweden.
