Eriksbergshallen båt
The former ship-yard district on the northern banks of the river has been transformed into wide-stretched quays, new residential areas, restaurants, cafés and theatres. Go for a stroll along the water and see some of the newest neighbourhoods in town, while feeling the breeze from the river. Lindholmen, Sannegårdshamnen and Eriksberg are located along the Northern banks of the river Göta Älv, between the bridges Göta Älvbron and Älvsborgsbron.
Today, the former shipyard area is abuzz with innovation and technology, housing a mix of university campuses, schools and offices. Several other restaurants serve weekday lunch and the area is also frequented by foodtrucks. But Lindholmen is not all about modern architecture. The venue opened in and is still showing independent film and theatre today.
Lindholmen has a proud marine history and around the shipyard here was the largest employer in the city with around 1, employees. Between and , some workers built houses on the hill Slottsberget, between Lindholmen and Sannegårdshamnen. The small neighbourhood is well-preserved and you have a picturesque view of the old houses from the ferry on the river or the footbridge across the small boat harbour in Sannegårdshamnen.
You can walk along the water all the way from Lindholmen Science Park to the iconic red harbour crane in Eriksberg. Along the way you will pass by the modern residential neighbourhood Sannegårdshamnen that once used to be a coal and salt harbour.
