We once held the belief that Göteborg had little to offer when it came to finding cool second-hand shops and bargains…Well, we where crazy wrong! After some digging around and sightseeing we found out that this city has a lot of pearls if you’re liking the old, used and dusty stuff. There are of course more shops than this, so if you know one that you think should be on the list, just put a comment below!

CLOTHES
Emmaüs
This is one of the bigger secondhand chains. It is cheap and abundantly stocked. Every Thursday, the shop is restocked and it is not surprising to see it overcrowded.

Linnegatan Mon-Fri 11-19, Sat 11-16

Myrorna
Roaming through all the floors is a true pleasure: clothes for men and women of all ages, but also books, sofas and much else. Whether you are looking for a suit, an old-fashioned ashtray, or some unique ornament, this is certainly the perfect spot!

Charlston Second Hand
This shop smells like a grandmother's house, and that's the charm. The only guideline here is "be retro"! This little boutique follows the tradition of second-hand shops and Haga's mind... everything in a mess. So the idea is to search through each rack fully, looking for that special frock. The customers are a wild mix of young people, retro clothing addicts and older people clinging to their youth. An eclectic mix.
Haga Nygrata 10
Mon-fri 12-18, sat 11-15

Ragtime
This high-street shop for girls hides out in a courtyard on Vallgatan, with the one for men just around the corner. If you are looking for a Gucci shirt, a pair of vintage Levis, San Marina or Converse shoes, then this is the place.

Magasinsgatan 15
Mon-fri 11-18, sat 12-16

Broadway & Sons
Here Santiags rub elbows with military jackets, leather jackets embrace with fashionable gowns. David, the French owner, imports from the United States and France, making sure all the clothes are "100 percent frippery". A rock 'n roll atmosphere always reigns there. A perfect place to dress up before hitting the infamous Route 66!
