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 />
