The Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers is a meeting place with a wide range of events such as trade fairs, exhibitions and conferences, as well as hotels and restaurants.
The health and safety of our visitors and employees is always our highest priority, and we continuously adapt our venue to current needs. We also encourage all our visitors to follow the Swedish Public Health Agency’s general guidelines and recommendations and to continue taking responsibility for their own and others’ safety by:
- Staying home if you are feeling unwell.
- Regularly washing your hands and use hand sanitiser.
- Sneezing into your inner elbow.
You are in safe hands at the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers. We have set a high priority on security for many years, so that we can effectively ensure the right level of security at the right time. We have qualified security personnel and well-functioning routines and processes to handle different events. As a visitor, you are safe with us.

Construction of Västlänken - Station Korsvägen
In Gothenburg, a tunnel is being built under the central parts that will give the city a continuous commuter and regional train traffic. Three new stations will make the journey easier, faster and with fewer changes. Korsvägen is an important hub for public transport due to its proximity to the Swedish Exhibition Center and Gothia Towers, Liseberg, Scandinavium, Universeum and more.
Station Korsvägen will be located under the current tram station and is expected to be completed in 2026. In February 2022, the blasting of the rock where the station will be located began, which means that traffic may be shut down for about 10 minutes up to twice a day. The explosions take place only during the day and a heads-up in the form of an audible signal will be given. The impact on the Swedish Exhibition Center and Gothia Tower’s operations is very limited. This part of the work is expected to continue until the spring of 2023.
