SUNDSVALL MEDELPAD<br />
Sundsvall<br />
Welcome to Sundsvall – The capital of Norrland. Sundsvall is the destination for those<br />
who want to embellish a holiday to Norrland with shopping and entertainment. It is<br />
home to Norrland’s largest city mall plus Birsta Shopping Centre, one of <strong>Sweden</strong>’s largest<br />
out-of-town retail centres. Nowhere north of the river Dal älven has more life and<br />
activity. In the midst of the northern countryside, and at the heart of everything, is perhaps<br />
one of the country’s most beautiful city centres with rich ornate post-renaissance<br />
<br />
38 – 61 THE CITY<br />
OF SUNDSVALL<br />
Once upon a time, Sundsvall was a<br />
major maritime city. Sundsvall cove<br />
and the nearby harbours in other<br />
parts of Sundsvall bay were lined by<br />
sawmills and loading wharves and<br />
its harbour basin was the centre for<br />
trade and stevedoring, bustling with<br />
vessels for loading and unloading,<br />
and passenger boats. Today,<br />
Sundsvall remains an important<br />
trading venue, but in another sense,<br />
Norrlands shopping and entertainment<br />
metropolis.<br />
