Avenyn, Gothenburg

Kungportsavenyn, or Avenyn as it is commonly known, is the big parade street in Gothenburg, which goes all the way from Kungportsplatsen up to Götaplatsen. Avenyn is packed with cafes, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs and shops. The City Library is located just below Götaplatsen. The small statue just outside is of the Swedish author Karin Boye (1900-1941). The walk is especially pleasant on a light summer's evening.
