Gothenburg, or Göteborg, southwestern Sweden. The country's chief seaport and second largest city, it lies along the Göta River estuary, about 5 mi (8 km) above the Kattegat. Founded in 1603, the city was destroyed in the Kalmar War with Denmark (1611 – 13) but was refounded in 1619. Many of the early inhabitants were Dutch, who built urban canals and laid out the city centre.  A prosperous period began with the completion of the Göta Canal (1832) and the start of a transoceanic shipping service. It retains some historic architecture, and a moat still encircles the old part of the city. The port's principal exports are automobiles (Volvo), ball bearings, and paper.

Västerås is by Swedish standards a quite large city, with about 130,000 inhabitants (100,000 in the city proper), which makes it the sixth largest city of Sweden. Västerås is also one of Sweden's older cities, being established in the 1240s or earlier.  The city name is derived from Västra (west) Aros (old Swedish name for river mouth). The small river (creek) is the Black River crossing the city and opening to Lake Mälaren.  Bishop Johannes Rudbeckius founded Sweden's first high school (gymnasium) here in 1623.  Västerås has preserved a selection of older buildings, both by the creek and around (and north of) the city's small Cathedral. They all give the town a bit of a small town atmosphere. Unfortunately hundreds of old houses were demolished, roughly between 1950 and 1975, during one of the country's most thorough city modernization projects. There are however several modern buildings of some architectural interest. View the full list of Vasteras Hotels
