Once the first suburb of Gothenburg, Haga has grown into a cosy district right under the hill on which you can find Skansen Kronan, the fortification that once defended the city.
A few decades ago, the Haga district did not have a very good reputation, and it was decided to give the old district a face-lift. Some buildings were improved, others were demolished and replaced by buildings in old style. It resulted in a cosy neighbourhood, in walking distance from the city centre. While downtown Gothenburg overall is modern and can be a little hectic, Haga now is an attractive district with a laid-back atmosphere. Here, you will find no trams or buses, and you can walk the quiet cobble-stone streets without being afraid of being run over by cars. You can also find old traditional shops and boutiques, as well as the impressive Hagabadet, the former Renströmska public bath where you can now have a luxurious refreshing time.
