Gothenburg Street Map Poster

Sweden’s west-coast harbour city was laid out in the 17th century by Dutch engineers, and that heritage still defines its street map. A ring of canals and the moat-like Vallgraven wraps the old commercial core, while the Göta älv river opens the city to the sea. The result is a printable city map of geometric canal blocks softened by the irregular, cobbled lanes of Haga, Gothenburg’s beloved historic district of low wooden houses.

Cutting through the centre is the grand boulevard Avenyn, the city’s main artery, with leafy Linné to the west and the vast green expanse of Slottsskogen park clearly legible on the map. Together they give the Gothenburg street map a relaxed, walkable rhythm quite unlike the island puzzle of the capital.

As wall art the design reads as a clean study in waterways and grids — a fitting tribute to a maritime city. Browse other Sweden city maps or set it alongside our Stockholm map poster to contrast east and west coast urban form.
