Best Family Photoshoot Locations in Gothenburg
Planning a family photoshoot in Gothenburg and not sure where to go? As a local family photographer, I’ve explored the most picturesque and meaningful spots in the city — from lush parks to charming cobblestone streets. Here’s my curated list of the best places for a family photoshoot in Gothenburg, perfect for capturing joyful, timeless memories.
Trädgårdsföreningen
Trädgårdsföreningen is like stepping into a fairytale in the city centre. This park has everything from beautiful rose gardens to old-school greenhouses. I love that, within a short time, you can get so many diverse pictures, moving from spot to spot. At the same park, this time is not HUGE so no kids, nor parents will get tired :)

Recommended seasons: spring, summer, autumn

Gothenburg Botanical Garden - Botaniska
Botaniska is a huge park, full of amazing plants. It’s like Mother Nature’s own Instagram feed. This would be my TOP choice for spring photoshoots.
So much space for kids to run and have fun, as well as perfect options for having an aesthetic "family picnic", especially during sunset when light comes through bushes and trees!
With Botaniska we should be ready to walk :)

Slottsskogen
Slottsskogen is one of the most popular parks for families in Gothenburg.
A wonderful mix of open grassy areas, picturesque ponds, and charming walking paths. Kids can enjoy running and feeding ducks and there’s plenty of space for picnics and outdoor activities. Whether your family wants to relax, play, or explore, Slottsskogen provides a beautiful and dynamic backdrop for photos.

Liseberg
Liseberg isn’t just for rides and cotton candy. The amusement park is super colourful and fun, making it perfect for our family photoshoot!

A customized City-walk
Gothenburg is a magical and beautiful city, and having lived here for six years, I've taken the time to explore every charming corner. I invite you to enjoy a relaxed photo-walk through the city's most beautifull streets—a perfect adventure that kids will absolutely love!
Imagine going up the old fortress for some stunning views, walking along water canals, grabbing a Swedish kannebulle in a cozy Haga coffee shop, or riding scooters down Vasagatan. Or maybe taking a little boat across the sea to visit the Eriksberg area?
These delightful experiences will capture both - the true essence of Gothenburg and your family memories.

Seminarieparken
Seminarieparken is a hidden gem of Gothenburg. This compact park is perfect for families with small kids, offering a peaceful environment without the need for long walks.
Despite its size, Seminarieparken allows us to take a variety of diverse and beautiful images. Another bonus - not so many people during the day (except for cherry blossom weeks).
The lush greenery, charming pathways, and intimate spaces make it an ideal spot for capturing candid moments :)

Bellevue Park
Tucked away in the Kviberg district, Bellevue Park is a quiet, lovely mix of forest and open green space.
What makes it especially great for families with small children is that it’s compact – you get a lot of variety in the background without needing to walk far. There’s water nearby, wooded paths, and open areas to play, making it easy to capture both candid and posed moments in a relaxed atmosphere. It's peaceful, accessible, and full of that cozy, natural light photographers love.
