Grönsakstorget isn't just a boring tram and bus junction. Around here you can find a wide range of shopping, coffee and restaurants. This is also where Pedagogen is located - one of the institutes of Gothenburg University. There is a café inside but it is not any cheaper as you could think being a students' café.
Best selection is around Magasinsgatan or along Västra Hamngatan, but don't forget to take any of the side streets.
That being said, this is not a very pleasant area for recreation or just strolling as it is traffic and just streets. But since there are no benches for seating it doesn't gather winos or vagrants which often is the case at parks or larger junctions. Just the stairs from Pedagogen full of students.
So next time, jump off the tram here and take a walk to find a new favourite shop or restaurant! read more
