Attractions in Liseberg

Of course, the rollercoasters are the biggest draw for visitors. There are several of them, such as:

  • Balder - a wooden roller coaster from 2003 that takes you on a 1,070-metre ride with a top speed of 90 km/h.
  • Helix - the second longest roller coaster in the world with a feet-up ride at 100 km/h
  • Lisebergbanan - a themed roller coaster in the style of a railway train reaches speeds of 80 km/h and takes you on a 1,548 metre ride with an elevation gain of 45 metres
  • Valkyrie - the world's longest and largest free-fall roller coaster

Water coasters are popular on sultry summer days. There are three in total:

  • FlumeRide - a 630-metre-long ride with a 14-metre drop.
  • Kållerado - experience a fast ride in 9-seater boats on a 560-metre-long water coaster
  • Skepp o´skoj - for the youngest visitors

Dozens more attractions, clearly categorised according to height requirements for children and adults, can be found on the park's website at liseberg.com/rides-attractions.

Entrance fees and opening hours

Admission is divided into a separate park entrance and Ride Pass for attractions. You can of course purchase a combination of these tickets and save money.

However, the price depends on the day of the week you visit and the season. The cheapest all-in-one ticket (park admission and unlimited rides on attractions) for an adult costs 395 sek. However, the same ticket will cost the same on a summer weekend 645 sek.

To purchase tickets, visit the park's website online at liseberg.com/tickets-prices.

Opening hours are divided into summer and winter hours. From May to August it is open every day mostly from 11am to 10pm. Other months it is open mostly on weekends, sometimes even on Fridays.
