Travel Guide

Sundsvall

Sundsvall has everything you need for a successful holiday with your partner, your family or a group of friends! Enjoy beautiful scenery and fun activities every day.

A weekend in Sundsvall is perfect for those who want to experience natural beauty and adventurous day trips, at the same time as catering to those who want to relax with good food, cultural experiences and fun activities for children. There are many nice hiking trails here, a wonderful archipelago and the famous Bodaborg adventure centre, where you can have a full day of adventure games and competitions. And if you like to fish, there is good trout and char fishing in the Nedre Ljungan.

Sundsvall was a long, small town with many small wooden houses that were densely packed and crowded. But after the great fire known as the Sundsvallbranden (the Sundsvall fire) in the late 1800s, the town was devastated and was re-built with tall buildings of brick and stone that would protect against fire and make the city more beautiful. Today, Sundsvall has an airy and modern feel and you can enjoy nature from the skyscrapers located on enclosed shopping streets.

Book a guided tour through Sundsvall and learn more about Stenstan (Stone Town) and how people lived back then. Sundsvall has an exciting history, and what could be better than learning fun facts while getting a great view over the centre of the city? Next, you can try panning for gold in Norafors, or have a go at curling in the Sundsvall curling hall. It’s fun for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

Despite its modern city centre, it is an authentic and personal city, where it is easy to get around on foot and discover the centre of town up close. There are vantage points everywhere and you can also find nice beaches for swimming and sunbathing in the summer. It is easy to get out onto the archipelago and there are also boats to most of the islands that leave directly from the centre of Sundsvall.

A weekend getaway to Sundsvall is easy and convenient from most cities in Sweden. It is within easy distance of Stockholm and you can take a plane, train, bus or car, depending on your travel budget.

Quite simply, Sundsvall is an easily accessible, fun and exciting destination all year round! Bring your loved ones for a memorable holiday in a place that is a Swedish cultural treasure!

"Veldig fint sted, rent, komfortabelt og flott uteområde. Eneste minuset var mye smått søppel som fløt i vannet ved stranden. Men det er jo neppe eiernes sin feil.. Kanskje mer søppeldunker på stranden?"
