Gothenburg is located on the West coast of Southern Sweden, at the mouth of the river Göta älv, which flows through the city and forms the island of Hisingen. The island is connected to the city by numerous bridges and a subway, and has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as testified by the Tumlehed rock painting. It is also the home place of the Volvo car industry: their fist car was produced here in 1927, and today you can visit the Volvo Museum.
