- Marius POslo, Norway2,258 contributionsNice neighborhoodWe parked and walked around in this neighborhood before going in to the city centre. It's full of small boutique and old quaint houses. Parking is also cheaper here and therefore possible to save some money by starting and ending in this part if you drive.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten January 8, 2024

- nilslysengOslo, Norway144 contributionsA cozy strollThis is a cozy neighbourhood for a stroll. It has all sorts of small shops. It's a nice place for tourists. The prices can be a bit steep in comparison to other places in the same city. Like go to Nordstan and look for toys. They are cheaper. Though you can get unique Swedish artifacts and things to remember your trip here.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 24, 2024
- Christian KBonn, Germany136 contributionsCharming but Tourist-Oriented AreaThis area is a lovely spot, albeit somewhat touristy. There were few locals around, with many visitors instead. During our visit, it wasn't overcrowded, but I can imagine that it might get busy at times. The area is filled with souvenir shops, as well as some great decor stores. While it's a nice place to explore during a trip to Gothenburg, it might not offer much more than a pleasant stroll. Overall, it's a charming part of the city that adds to the overall experience.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 4, 2024

Enchanting experience. It was visited as a Christmas shopping experience and we found all the shop keepers and the people we came across friendly and welcoming. This is an older part of town and it was nice to browse things not available in the big multi stores in the center of town.

Once considered a suburb it is now a quite central part of Gothenburg, just across the Vallgraven moat from the old town. Its main street is the pedestrianised Haga Nygata with some more quiet streets branching off to the left and right. Above Haga towers the redoubt of Skansen Kronen, a recommended visit, when in this area anyway.
Haga lies - from west to east - between the Järntorget square with its large fountain and the Haga church at the other end. The houses in this quarter are mostly from the end of the 19th century and often consist of a stone or brick built ground floor and two wooden floors above, although other type of houses are found as well. Once considered a worker's district, it has now become fully gentrified.
Over the main street Haga Nygata are several banners, on which is written 'Cosy Shopping and Fika'. In fact there are several small shops and boutiques to be found here, selling antiques, handicraft and souvenirs, thus a fun shopping area away from the supermarkets. Well known are also the charming cafés, usually with some outdoor seating. Especially famous is the Café Husaren for its 'Hagabullen', large cinnamon buns.

Haga is essentially the old workers district. It’s lined with old buildings and cobbled streets. Now it’s a none specific name to an area that’s home to hundreds of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. Many of which offer great people watching spots if that’s your thing.
Me and the wife loved this area, we would sit and have a few pints and watch the world go by. It perfectly shows the relaxed pace of life that made me fall in love with city.

It is a very typical street of Goteborg.All kinds of shops and restaurants with very popular atmosphere. There is a very interesting second hand bookstore at good prices. Restaurants range from high prices for their great quality to cheaper prices for being a more popular cuisine.

Haga is a district of Gothenburg that still retains some period wooden buildings. It is located in the left part of the city just below the canal, between Feskekorka and Slottsskogen Park. It is a network of streets with small shops and restaurants. The neighborhood church on the right and the Skansen Kronan overlooking the neighborhood from above are nothing short of spectacular. Highly recommended for a very quiet walk.

The area is an eclectic mix of Boho cafes and shops, tourist shops and interesting architecture. Originally a working-class neighbourhood, many of the apartments were originally alms-houses funded by a British entrepreneur Robert Dickson who had connections to the East India Company. His name is emblazoned on many red brick buildings.
The area has retained most of it original buildings although it is now heavily geared to tourism. We did manage to find a quaint slice of old Gothenberg when having lunch in Solrosen on Kaponjargatan. The place hasn’t altered in decades.

I had a good walk around Haga today and enjoyed both Fika and lunch there. The shops are beautiful but most don't open until 11am so don't bother going early if that's what you're after.
Really lovely little spot to relax and watch the world go by.

Hello, There are no shops open on Sunday. Sunday is usually closed for enjoying the day. Walking up to the top of the hill in Haga is nice.
