Hudiksvall
Hudiksvall is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Sweden. It is a charming and pleasant settlement from the 16th century. It is the largest town in Hälsingland, yet its consistent layout and central canal keep it charming. You can wander along the water's edge and take in the maintained and lovely architecture.
Visitors can explore the stores and restaurants of the Gallerian Guldsmeden, which overlooks the waterway in the town center, and also the nearby department stores before heading south to the Jakobs Kyrka, which is claimed to be the town's oldest structure. The church's beautiful bell tower, built in the 17th century, rises high above the surrounding streets. The Hälsingland Museum's interior walls are lined with a variety of photos and textiles. Its constantly changing shows frequently feature interactive displays and topical photo essays.
Visitors can approach Hudiksvalls Harbor and choose their favorite sailing vessel among the rows of sailing vessels. Take note of how mild the winters are for such a far north region. The town is located on Sweden's eastern coast and is part of Gävleborg County. You may rent a car in Stockholm and travel 185 kilometers north to arrive here in about 3 hours. You can also take the train to the Hudiksvall railway station in the town's south and stop at some of the towns along the way, including Gavle, Soderhamn, and Uppsala.
