2025 Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate Change

Short Gothenburg Guide

The 2025 Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate Change is getting close. Here are some tips about Gothenburg.

How to get around

• The venue is Lindholmen Science Park and can be reached by free ferry rides from the eastern side of the river, Göta Älv. You can also take bus 16, X1, or 21 from Central Station (bus stop “Nordstan”) to bus stop “Lindholmen”.
• Trams, buses, boats, and trains: Use Västtrafik. A 90-minute ticket costs SEK 37, a 3 day ticket costs SEK 240. Zone “A” will take you to most places inside Gothenburg and some of its suburbs. Easiest is to buy tickets in the “Västtrafik To Go” app, available for iPhone and Android.
• Bicycle: You can rent bicycles from Styr och ställ, Voi, Tier-Dott, and Ryde - All these require you to download an app and register before renting. The latter three also rents out electric scooters, which have to be parked in designated places.
• Taxi: There are a number of different old-school taxi companies in the town. Taxi Göteborg and Taxi Kurir are two examples. You can also book taxis though Uber and Bolt.
• Airport bus: Flygbussarna. Special tickets required.

Things to do

• Outdoor activities
  • Take a walk on the northern river bank. This is right where the workshop venue is.
  • Take a walk up to Ramberget. This is about twenty minutes walk from the workshop venue.
  • Take a ferry to the archipelago: Take the tram to Saltholmen, and then change to the ferry to Brännö, Asperö, Styrsö, Vargö, or Donsö. The ferry is the same ticket as the tram. Once you are on an island, enjoy hiking or a (freezing) swim! For tram/ferry prices, see above.
  • Hiking in Skatås: Take the tram to Welandergatan and then use your walking shoes. Here are som more hiking tips reachable by public transport.
  • Take a walk or hike in the botanical garden: Take a tram to “Göteborg Botaniska Trädgården” and visit the botanical gardens. They should have started to bloom this time of the year.
