Is Gothenburg really a "dead city," or is it actually one of Scandinavia's most underrated destinations? In this episode, we tackle this divisive question straight from the heart of the West Coast, debating whether the city's "Little London" reputation holds up. Join us as we dive into the local vibe, from the authentic charm of Järntorget's cozy bars to the relaxed, salty air of the Northern Archipelago. We explore the city's industrial pillars like Volvo and AstraZeneca, discuss the academic rivalry between Chalmers and KTH, and determine if the "slow-burn" lifestyle here is the ultimate upgrade for your work-life balance. We also compare the safety and student life here to major global metropolises to deliver our final verdict: Is the city dead, or just right?
