Scandinavium is more than an arena—it’s one of Gothenburg’s best-known stages for major events. Built as a classic multi-purpose indoor venue, it’s praised for a compact bowl that keeps the crowd close to the action, whether you’re there for ice hockey, handball, or a headline concert. Capacity adapts to the event format: roughly 12,000 for sports, and up to about 14,000 for concerts with an expanded setup.
Inside, the experience feels like a proven, big-night arena: clear sightlines, an intense atmosphere, and acoustics that carry performances well. Comfort comes from a practical layout of entrances and concourses, supported by the expected food-and-drink options that make breaks easy and quick.
Address: Valhallagatan 1, 412 51 Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden. Aim for the event district around the venue and follow the on-site signage to the main entrances; the stop called “Scandinavium” is essentially right outside the doors, and nearby public car parks support arrivals by car.
