Svartvik bears the memories from 200 years of northern Swedish industrial history, evolving from a loading dock to a shipyard, steam sawmill, and pulp factory. Today, Svartvik will be a point of interest with displays of its history, park like environment, playgrounds for the children, one of the oldest water towers in Sweden and a skittle alley, where you can try to play just like the patrons did during the peak of the logging industry. Visit the exhibition featuring a 7-meter-long model of Svartvik in the 1930s. In the summer, a variety of activities are organised by the Svartvik Days Association. In the winter, image and storytelling evenings with historical themes are arranged. Dine at the manor house, enjoy a coffee at Café Svartvik, or visit the antique shop.

The huge national banner and colonial-era cannon outside this gracious colonial building underline its status as the official residence of the governor of East Java. The gardens are often used for cultural events, colourful official ceremonies on national holidays and state occasions.

The historic landmark Queen Victoria Market is also called "Vic Market" or the "Queen Vi". At this bustling inner-city market you can shop for almost everything, since it is the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. The market is truly the heart of Melbourne and well worth a visit for both locals and tourists.
