Sundsvall

The industrial town of Sundsvall is situated on the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia. In the 19th century, it was practically completely consumed by fire. Nevertheless, it has managed to preserve the wonderful Scandinavian stone architecture that you will be able to admire while walking through the downtown. Sundsvall, however, hides a lot of other attractions. Make sure to visit Norra Berget , a hilly park that offers a wonderful panorama of the entire city.

Also noteworthy is the city museum , which tells the local history. Also, make time for a trip outside Sundsvall to Galtströms Bruk . It is there that you will be able to admire the buildings belonging to the former steelworks, which closed at the beginning of the 20th century. Surely Sundsvall is not one of the top tourist destinations. But if you do come here, you won't regret your decision!
