Haga is Gothenburg’s oldest suburb and, today, one of its most charming neighborhoods to explore on foot. Cobblestone streets, wooden 19th-century houses, and a relaxed caf\u00e9 culture make it a must-walk for anyone visiting the city \u2014 here’s how to do it right<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brief History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Haga was established in 1648 as one of Gothenburg’s first suburbs, originally housing workers and craftsmen outside the city’s fortified walls. By the mid-20th century, much of it faced demolition for modern development, but a preservation movement in the 1970s saved the wooden houses that now define the district’s character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Begin at Haga Nygata, the district’s main pedestrian street, lined with boutiques, caf\u00e9s, and the kind of small independent shops that chain retail has pushed out of most city centers elsewhere. This is also the easiest stretch to navigate with kids or limited mobility, since it’s flat and fully pedestrianized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
