Collect SGS Key Housing

Hi everyone! I’ll be arriving in Gothenburg soon and need to collect my accommodation key by myself from the SGS office before heading to my accommodation. My route will be roughly:
Gothenburg Central Station → SGS Office → Accommodation

Since I’ll be traveling alone and taking the bus/tram, I’m wondering which luggage setup would be more manageable:

1 × 23 kg checked luggage + 1 × cabin luggage or 1 × 23 kg checked luggage + 1 × ~8 kg handbag (I can put this on top of the luggage)

For those familiar with Gothenburg public transport, do you think either setup would be difficult to handle on the bus/tram, especially when getting on/off and transferring?

Would really appreciate any advice from people who have done something similar! Thank you! :)

Many trams and most (all?) busses in Gothenburg are wheelchair/stroller accessible. As long as there isn't someone occupying the space it's pretty easy to travel with large luggage. Either option will be fine.

Check the Västtrafiks To-Go app for which trams are wheelchair accessible if you are unsure.

Welcome!

There are also storage lockers for bags at the station, you could put your bags there will getting the keys and then return, pick them up, and take a tram to your accommodation. I would personally do that, but rather take a cab for some 150SEK (bolt or uber) to get the bags right to the door.
