Rent an apartment in Göteborg

Göteborg is a beautiful city with lots of possibilities to rent an apartment. The city is the second largest in Sweden and situated by the water. You therefore get a perfect combination of city and nature. The population is about 590.000 people in the city and above 1 million in the metropolitan area. 

You find an airport 25 km from the city where you easily can get to other parts of Sweden and other countries in Europe. This makes it easy to take weekend trips to other interesting cities. 

Göteborg has 260 trams that make it easy to get around the city. Göteborg was founded in 1621 by King Gustav II Adolf. The city has plenty of delicious food to offer, but it is especially big on seafood as you can imagine as it is placed right next to the sea. 

The city is smallish and easy to get around in. That does not mean that it isn’t packed with lots of sights and is big on shopping, culture, nature and cuisine. 

Student? What about a room in Göteborg?

In Göteborg you find lots of students. The city has the University of Göteborg and Chalmers University of Technology. If you are one of the many students, who want to find housing in Göteborg, you have to be quick to secure an apartment. If you cannot find an apartment studio in Göteborg, it is smart to go for a room in Göteborg. This means you get roommates that you share the bill with, but you also get to share life with. If you are new in the city, this is a splendid way to get to know someone. As a student it’s not easy to pay for an apartment in Göteborg on your own. Therefore it might be a great idea to share the apartment with someone else. 

Göteborg is a student friendly city. The rent can be very high, if you want to live in the inner city, but if you are willing to live a bit outside the popular areas, the rent decreases. 

In Sweden apartments are classified by square meters and number of rooms (this is excluding kitchen and bathroom). Sometimes heating, water and electricity is included in the rent – sometimes not. Check this with your tenant beforehand. Usually most apartments have a fridge, freezer and oven. Some have a washing machine in the apartment and some have washing machines in the basement. Sometimes you need to find a separate laundry.
