Sitting high up on Mesa Vouno, Ancient Thera has the kind of views that make the hike worth it. The ruins stretch along a ridge above Kamari and Perissa, with bits of Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine history still visible—temples, bathhouses, homes, even an old theatre. You can drive most of the way from Kamari (steep road), or hike up from Perissa if you’re up for a long, hot climb (around 2 hours). Bring water, wear shoes with grip, and go early if you want to avoid the heat.

The view from Vättaberget is one of the most photographed in Sweden and well worth the 1-hour drive from Sundsvall city. In the summer, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or light refreshments at the Vättaberget café. You can also visit some of the old buildings on site, such as the blacksmith's shop. In the winter, it's the ski slope that attracts visitors.

Teatro dell'Opera di Roma is an Opera House that still preserves its distinctive features of the 19th century.
