Introducing Sundsvall
Notable for having managed to rebuild itself in fine style after a devastating fire in 1888, Sundsvall is a confection in pink and tan, with several remarkably pretty buildings of neo-Gothic, neo-Renaissance and neo-baroque architecture. It's a pleasant place to spend a day or two, particularly for those interested in fine dining, as the culinary scene here has a good reputation.

In the first week of July, Sundsvall hosts one of Sweden's largest street festivals (attended by up to 100,000 people), which includes a large musical concert in the centre of town. If you plan to be here then, definitely book accommodation well ahead, and don't count on parking anywhere near the city centre.
