Where to find sun from Gothenburg
Gothenburg is the wet west coast of Sweden: milder in winter than Stockholm, cloudier, and a modest summer. The archipelago is the local good weekend.
What you can reach
About 2 hours by car: Jönköping (about 1 h 45), Halmstad (about 1 h 45), Varberg (about 59 min).
Further, still inside 5 hours: Oslo (about 3 h 45), Malmö (about 3 h 30), Linköping (about 3 h 15), Örebro (about 3 h 45), Västerås (about 4 h 45).
Inside a 4-hour door-to-door flight, and too far for that drive: The Hague, Hamburg, Koszalin, Klaipėda. Four hours door to door reaches northern Germany, Denmark and the edge of the continent. A warm sea is another flight beyond that.
Car times are the straight-line estimate SunFinder starts from (~70 km/h), before a routed drive. A mountain road or a ferry takes longer. The flight circle is the same 4-hour limit the tool uses.
When to stay
Oslo and Malmo are long drives through the same season. The coast on a clear summer day does not need an upgrade. From autumn to spring the sun is a flight, and the North Sea will not provide it on the way.
