Biskopsgården
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biskopsgården is one of the suburbs of Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden. It lies on the island of Hisingen. It was built at the end of the 1950's. All the streets in Biskopsgården have a theme with weather and the suburb is built around three squares; Friskväderstorget, Vårväderstorget and Väderlekstorget (väder is the Swedish word for weather).
It is a multicultural suburb in that many of the inhabitants originate from other countries and Biskopsgården has both big, bloc-like apartment buildings as well as areas with one-family houses complete with surrounding garden. The rents in Biskopsgården are fairly low compared to many other parts of Gothenburg.
To come to Biskopsgården by tram, you take number 5, 6 or 10. Five and 6 go all the way to Länsmansgården, while 10 usually only reaches to Eketrägatan and has only a few tours to Länsmansgården. To see which 10 tram passes through Biskopsgården, observe the (usually available) computer display at tram stops which will have the tram number, its final destination, and the minutes until it arrives. Make sure you catch the trams which are destined for Länsmansgården.
