Vasastan is a district in central Gothenburg, Sweden.
While nearby Haga was a suburb for the working class with wooden houses, Vasastan was built in stone in neo-Renaissance and baroque style for the wealthy middle class.
Vasastan was built in the latter half of the 19th century when the city expanded outside the city walls.
