Welcome to Sundsvall – known for its unique stone architecture and the blend of vibrant city life with the nature of northern Sweden. Here, charming stone houses from the late 19th century meet sandy beaches, hiking trails and a lively urban scene.

Sweden’s most beautiful stone city

At the heart of Sundsvall lies Stenstan – the unique city centre rebuilt in stone after the great fire of 1888. Stroll along streets lined with magnificent turn-of-the-century buildings while enjoying the city’s pulse with restaurants, cafés and shops. Along Storgatan and in In:Gallerian, you’ll find the largest shopping selection in northern Sweden – and with Mid Sweden University in town, the energy of student life adds to the city’s atmosphere.

Culture & outdoor life

Sundsvall offers plenty to see and do. At Tonhallen, concerts are performed throughout the year, while the beautifully restored Kulturmagasinet houses a museum, art gallery and exhibitions. If you’re travelling with children, Himlabadet is a must with its adventure pools and water slides. Around the city, nature experiences await year-round – from hiking and fishing to skiing just a couple of kilometres from the centre. At Södra Berget, you can enjoy illuminated trails for cross-country skiing and breathtaking views over the city, while Sidsjön Outdoor Centre offers both relaxation and activities close to nature.

Restaurants, spa and conferences

In Sundsvall, you can combine the city’s energy with both great food and relaxation. Discover restaurants serving both local flavours and international cuisine, and make use of conference facilities for everything from small meetings to large events. End the day with a moment of relaxation at the spa.
