Lilla Bommen & Göteborgs-Utkiken
Lilla Bommen / Göteborgs-Utkiken
The red-and-white striped 'Lipstick' tower, 86 metres tall, stands beside the four-masted sailing ship Viking, a harbour landmark.
Göteborgs-Utkiken was completed in 1989 and is nicknamed the 'Lipstick' for its red-and-white exterior. Its top floor was originally an observation deck, and opening arrangements have changed in recent years. Beside it, the four-masted sailing ship Viking, built in 1906, now serves as a hotel and restaurant on board. Lilla Bommen is one of the piers for trips to Nya Älvsborg Fortress and island cruises. The harbour promenade links the opera house with the Maritiman maritime museum, making it a lovely place for an evening stroll.
