You can see the sea everywhere
Härnösand is the gateway to the High Coast! In the residence and diocesan city, you can stand in the middle of the old city center and still have water, verdant parks and dramatic nature within close reach.

Unique jewelry in gold, silver, palladium and titanium, made by the store’s own goldsmiths. Here you can find the Ångermanland jewelry, the Härnösand jewelry, the Härnösand cross… Or would you rather have a beaver or a surströmming around your neck?!
The shop, Västernorrlands Museum
Small shop, but good selection! Crafts, art, books and souvenirs from all over Ångermanland. Everything from textiles and forging to homemade candles.
Sandlund/Hossain, Fiskaregatan 4A

Linboa, Trädgårdsgatan 3
Personal shop that asserts itself against the chains with women’s clothes in linen and cotton. Separate shop section with women’s underwear.
Re:store Höga Kusten, Köpmangatan 4
Newly started recycling mall and experimental marketplace near the square that has become a hit! Sustainability in focus. Wide range of goods.
Food
Engströms Food & Deli, Storgatan 29
Tasty deli on the pedestrian street in the center of town. Super fresh both on the premises and on the plate. Great place to bunker down before a spontaneous picnic in the park or by the water! The hanger above all others.
APA, Trädgårdsgatan 3
A well-executed burger concept is combined with a rich selection of beers and a good bar in an absolute prime location by the square. Nice outdoor seating in summer and often live music.
Restaurant Skeppet, Skeppsbron 4
Skeppet is a really good choice in summer with its great location in the center right next to the water. A coffee or lunch with a perfect view of boats and people’s life? or a whole dinner? Or nice bar hanging? Everything is here.
Bitten’s Rockbar, Storgatan 32 A
Rock bar with big hugs feeling. Robust food on the theme of burgers and pizza. Plus the longest beer list in town.

A lovely, glazed Italian restaurant right next to the sea. Here you are literally sitting on the edge of the quay.

Härnö Outdoor Lodge, Vårdkasberget
With passion for nature and traditional craftsmanship, a dining experience is created where the meeting is as big a part of the experience as the food and drink. The view over the town and large parts of the municipality is magnificent.
See & do
Härnösand’s car museum
Sweden’s largest car museum is growing to a breaking point. Just over 220 cars plus motorcycles, motorbikes, mopeds, engines, prams, a giant steam locomotive and much more. Frustrating car party and ambitious time travel in one and the same package.
Hemsö Fortress, Hemsön
A mammoth installation from the days of the Cold War, embedded in the mountain on Hemsön about an hour from Härnösand. A powerful journey through time under the guidance of knowledgeable guides. Lots to see and also a restaurant with a great view.
Adventure golf, Magasinsgatan, Kronholmen
A brand new adventure golf with courses in the center and right next to the water is underway. First results are expected in July.
Härnöleden
Hiking trail that is easy to follow with the help of good signage.
Smitingen’s sea bath

Västernorrlands Museum, Murberget
Museum building with elaborate permanent exhibitions and an idyllic open-air museum that comes alive in summer.
Padel, Högslätten and Härnoverken
