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.

Liberty has been a grand achievement for people throughout history, and the historic Liberty Bell serves as a testament to America’s own piece of freedom. Named by abolitionists during the struggle to end slavery, the Liberty Bell traveled the nation following the Civil War as a symbol of freedom and healing. Now, it stands proudly for all to partake in its message of equality and liberty. Video presentations and exhibits display the Bell’s history, and multilingual tapes are available, too.

A steep climb (or car ride) up Mount Entoto is worth the time if only for the spectacular views over sprawling Addis Ababa unfolding from the top. On Sunday, the hilltop Maryam Church is open for mass (closed other days of the week), and the Entoto Maryam Museum showcases artefacts and personal belongings of Emperor Menelik, whose humble palace still stands not too far away.

Kustvägen (the coast road) is a 75-kmstretch of road south of Sundsvall, that runs from Jättendal in the south to Svartvik in the north. Take the opportunity to leave the big roads and experience the lovely Swedish coastline. The road will take you through forest and agriculture landscape. You'll find genuine fishing villages, Norrland’s longest beach, restaurants & cafés, industrial museums, golf courses, hotels, camping, B&Bs, fishing and more.
