What is Göta Canal?
[[File:Gota-channel de.svg|thumb|Göta Canal.]] [[File:La2-bergs.jpg|thumb|Göta Canal locks.]] The '''Göta Canal''' ({{lang-sv|Göta kanal}}) is a [[canal]] in southern [[Sweden]]. Opened in [[1832]], its economic importance started to decline early because of the arrival of [[railroad]]s in Sweden by the mid [[19th century]], and nowadays, it's mostly used for summertime tourist boat tours, as well as private boating. ==Other websites== {{commonscat-inline|Göta Canal}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gota Canal}} [[Category:Transport in Sweden]] [[Category:Canals]] {{europe-stub}}
