I'd like a Haga zipcode

I'd like a Haga zipcode. Why? It could be that early one morning when I found myself in this district of Gothenburg, I also found the unique Café Husaren (Haga Nygata 26), where they sell cinnamon and cardamom buns. I was hungry and they were very good. No - they were delicious.

But more likely it's because Haga retains a stunning charm and peacefulness, despite being part of the beautiful, bustling city of Gothenburg. The old buildings, cobbled streets, small farmer's markets stalls and the smell of the ocean close by give a heady mixture of the calm and tranquil, the lively and the elegant. And on a sunny Sunday morning, there was no other place I'd rather be.

The area has been refurbished but retains it's old-world charm, the wonderful Governor's buildings are still a landmark of the area. It's a district you must stroll through, rather than rush through just to get from A to B. The shops - from the trendy to the quaint - sell remarkable one-of-a-kind objects and antiques.

In the mid 1600's, Haga was mainly a worker's suburb of Gothenburg, being close to the harbour and rivers. And by the 1800's the area had grown so quickly that 3-storey apartment blocks and expensive stone houses were being built. During future years, churches and schools appeared and today Haga has progressed from being a worker's area to a trendy bohemian atmosphere packed with cafes, shops and restaurants. Don't leave Gothenburg without spending time in Haga. The public transport system of old-fashioned trams is great and frequently run to this stylish suburb of the city.
