General presentation
Sundsvall
An elegant stone town opens onto hills and the cut-out coast of central Sweden.
To understand what Sundsvall is, you have to look at Stenstan, Norra Berget and Alnö Island. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, heritage and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
