Sweden: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Gothenburg has one driving restriction on our books: the Trängselskatt Göteborg (congestion tax) (congestion charge). What is a congestion charge?
Sources last read on 2026-09-10, from Transportstyrelsen (Swedish Transport Agency) and Sveriges riksdag (Swedish Parliament, Svensk författningssamling). The next scheduled check is 2027-01-31.
Gothenburg charges a congestion tax on vehicles driving into and out of the city centre. There is nothing to buy: cameras register each passage at 37 numbered toll stations and you are billed afterwards. What you pay depends on the time of day, from 9 SEK off-peak to 22 SEK at the two peaks, and at most 60 SEK per vehicle per day.
The tax applies to vehicles registered outside Sweden too.
