This tour starts at Lilla Bommen and ends at the bridge Älvsborgsbron. Take tram line 5 or bus number 40,41 or 85 to Lilla Bommen. Lilla Bommen used to be an inlet for many of the canals in Gothenburg. Both large and small freighters arrived here. The larger ships couldn't reach Lilla Bommen, because the canal was too shallow. Therefore, the cargo was reloaded onto smaller ships, "hemförarbåtar". The area was closed at night and a boom extended across the canal to prevent unauthorised visits. Hence the name, Lilla Bommen (The Small Boom). Today, it is a guest harbour and a docking point for sightseeing boats. The old sailing ship Barken Viking and Götheborgs Utkiken in the Skanska skyscraper are also located here. We begin the tour by visiting GötheborgsUtkiken in the Skanska skyscraper, 86 metres above sea level. At the very top of the building, one has a nice view of the town and its harbour, along with the two bridges that link the island Hisingen with the mainland, Göta Älvbron and Älvsborgsbron. When we have had our fill of the view, we walk down to the harbour and the sightseeing boats. We take the ferry Älv-snabben to the cultural heritage centre Klippan, by way of Eriksberg. Eriksberg is an old shipyard which has been converted into a modern neighbourhood. The former machinery buildings have been restored and converted into a hotel with conference facilities, Blå Hallen and Eriksbergshallen. Eriksberg's orange gantry crane stands 84 metres above sea level, and you have a great view of the harbour. For the more daring, bungy jumps from the crane are a popular attraction. We walk back to the ferry-stop at Eriksberg and take Älv-Snabben to the cultural heritage centre Klippan, which is situated just below the bridge Älvsborgsbron. In the 16th century, the community at Klippan was a precursor of the subsequent city of Gothenburg. The cultural heritage centre sports a café, a hotel and a restaurant. Älv-Snabben puts into port just next to the café Konstkaféet, where you can enjoy a sandwich and a cup of coffe before embarking on the final stage of the tour. Next, walk up to Älvsborgsbron, which offers a grand view of Gothenburg and the harbour entrance, the fortress Älvsborgs nya fästning and the island of Vinga. Walk back to Klippan and take Älv-Snabben back to Lilla Bommen, where the tour began. You pass Göteborgs Maritima Centrum, a floating maritime and naval museum featuring the submarine Nordkaparen. On the city side, you pass Stena Line's Denmark terminal, the Maritime Museum with its outlook tower Sjömanstornet, and the Gothenburg Opera House.
