The 60-metre high Ferris wheel, which was planned for the site next to the Gothenburg Opera House, will now become reality. At the end of May, it's time for the premier ride on this new city attraction.
The wheel, which will be the first of its kind in Scandinavia, will be erected on the square Kanaltorget, by the water and next to the Gothenburg Opera House, and will become a spectacular landmark leading onto the city's main street, Avenyn. A ride will enable guests to see Gothenburg from a brand new perspective.
