Certainly one of the top family parks in the world, not the level of say a Disneyland, but for Europe it's excellent. And don't miss the traditional and very cozy Julmarknad in November/December.

The Helix is one of the best roller coasters I've ever been on, and I've done a lot of them.

Helix was the best ride. Got there at 11am to buy the Alt-I-ett tickets (all rides included) and for ~475kr it was definitely worth it. Helix had a 10-20 wait time. Mechanics not worth though.

Gothenburg for the most part lacks magic as a city but Liseberg is one of the few places where you can feel a little tinsel.

Buy tix online so you can use the 3 express passes on Helix. If you're lactose intolerant the GB Glace kiosks offer a tasty rice ice cream cone.
