Traveling within Gothenburg

Getting around in Gothenburg is easy, thanks to an extensive network of public transportation options that includes trams, buses and ferries.

Note that conductors on trams, ferries and most buses do not sell tickets. Single tickets can be bought either on the blue ticket machines in the back of trams or by SMS. We do however recommend purchasing a Maxi 100 discount card, which is sold at Västtrafik service stations and most kiosks.

To get to the IT-University, where FSCONS is held, you can take either the ferry or bus #16 to Lindholmen.

For more information regarding public transport in Gothenburg, see the webpages of Västtrafik.

* Please be advised the official currency in Sweden is Swedish Kronor. The exchange rate is about 9 Kronor for 1 euro.
