GallerySweden’s second largest city of Gothenburg is also Chicago’s only sister city in the Nordic countries. The city’s famed Poseidon statue makes it clear that Gothenburg is a city closely associated with the sea. With the largest port in Scandinavia, the city’s economy and culture has thrived because of its location on the water. Gothenburg is also known for its amusement park Liseberg, attracting millions of locals and tourists every year.
