Bicycles parked in Drottningtorget square in front of Gothenburg central station
The image portrays the lively Drottningtorget square in front of Gothenburg central station, symbol of Swedish cycling culture. Dozens of bicycles of every type and color are parked in the foreground, testimony to how this means of transport is an integral part of daily life in Sweden. In the background rises the historic central station building, built in 1858 in neo-Renaissance style with its light green facade. On the left, other historic buildings in pastel colors border the square. Golden lampposts decorate the public space, while some passersby animate the scene on a sunny summer day. The square, one of the city main transport hubs, connects the railway station with tram lines and buses, making Gothenburg a city easily explored without a car.
