More information on Guldhedstornet

Guldhedstornet was built in 1953, designed by architect Nils Einar Eriksson. It is a water tower that serves 10 percent of Gothenburg's population. The tower itself isn't very high (130 metres), but it stands on a hill and therefore commands a great view of the city. When the weather is clear, you can see all the way out to Vinga, in the west. If you get hungry, there is a café in the tower. To get there take tram 6 from Brunnsparken to the final stop, Dr. Sydows gata. Or take bus 51 from Korsvägen to Syster Estrids gata. You can also go by car; parking is available.
