Situated to the west of Östersund, the largest island in Lake Storsjön, Frösön holds a rich historical significance. Named after the Norse god Freyr, the island, which served as the regional centre of Jämtland throughout much of recorded history, boasts the northernmost raised runestone in the world, known as the "Frösö Runestone”. Easily accessible by foot, car, or bus, the island is a short walk across the pedestrian bridge from Östersund. The renowned Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's enchantment with the island led to the creation of "Sommarhagen", now a museum and one of Östersund's most visited attractions.

If you only want to visit one museum when visiting Östersund and Jämtland, then choose the Jamtli. During the summer months, you can meet people from the past and experience the local culture up close. In winter, the museum transforms into a traditional Christmas market. Jamtli also hosts a unique underground exhibition that intricately narrates the history of Norrland. Among its treasures is the Överhogdal hangings, a 1000-year-old textile picture, Europe’s oldest and best-preserved. Awarded with three stars by Guide Michelin, Jamtli promises a captivating journey through time and culture.

When exploring the city, check out this unusual work of art hovering in the air. This silver coloured man hangs on wires just across the river and is considered to be one of the main symbols of the city. The author, Jerzy Kędziora, wanted to commemorate Poland's entry in the European Union.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Birmingham's city centre lies Gas Street Basin, a historic canal network that was once a bustling port and has now transformed into a charming hub of bars, cafés, and restaurants. Take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque canal side, immersing yourself in a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern living. Interestingly, the name itself holds a clue to its significance, as Gas Street was the pioneering location in Birmingham to introduce gas lighting, marking a milestone in the city's history.
