Fiskarstan

The Bothnian Coast


Beyond Möljen, along Hamngatan and a couple of blocks up from it, is Fiskarstan (Fishermen’s Town), consisting of partially preserved, elegantly wood-panelled merchants’ yards and winter dwellings of local fishermen, dating back to the early 19th century. It's a good spot to take a wander.
