Scandinavium is an indoor multi-purpose arena in Gothenburg, Sweden, opened in 1971 and built to host large indoor sports and entertainment events. It is one of the city’s primary indoor venues with a history of hosting major national and international events.

The arena offers tiered seating with a capacity of roughly 12,000 for sporting events and concerts, configurable for different layouts. Key onsite facilities include a large main bowl used for ice hockey, concerts and exhibitions, corporate boxes and concession areas.

Designed by architect Poul Hultberg and completed in 1971, it was constructed to serve Gothenburg’s growing need for an indoor event facility. Over time the arena has been updated and reconfigured to accommodate modern technical and spectator requirements.

The building sits in central Gothenburg’s Korsvägen area in Västra Götaland County, adjacent to other major venues and within easy public-transport reach of the city centre.

• Transport: Located at the Korsvägen events district in central Gothenburg, a short walk from the Korsvägen tram stop and other venues such as Ullevi and the Swedish Exhibition Centre.
• Capacity and tenant: Seating capacity is about 12,000 for sports and concerts, and the arena is the long-term home ground of the ice hockey team Frölunda HC.

Scandinavium is in central Gothenburg at the Korsvägen event area next to Liseberg and Ullevi. The easiest public-transit option is to take a tram to the Korsvägen interchange (major tram stop) and walk 2-5 minutes to the arena; from Gothenburg Central Station the tram ride is short. By car it’s within a couple of kilometres of the city centre and reachable via the main city roads; there are nearby event parking areas.

• Use the Korsvägen tram stop for the easiest public-transport access - it drops you a short walk from Scandinavium and is faster than fighting event traffic by car.
• For concerts and big matches check your ticket for the assigned gate and arrive 45-60 minutes early to pass security and find your seat before the main rush.
• If you want quieter times in the area, visit the arena concourses before an event starts to browse merchandise and grab food; many people only arrive at showtime and miss this window.
