Sundsvall
Stone City rooftops
The spectacular Stone City (Stenstan) of Sundsvall can be experienced by joining a historic rooftop tour. This guided tour offers sweeping cityscape views along with interesting facts about the city’s grandest neighbourhood, built entirely in stone at the end of the 19th century during Sundsvall’s industrial expansion. From a 25 metre high vantage point, you’ll also get the chance to take a closer look at some of the elegant spires and towers.
