Experience
Östersund as a vibrant city centre, a unique atmosphere, and a heart that beats for everybody. It is a city where tradition goes hand-in-hand with diversity and optimism. Markets that have been attracting people for centuries nowadays intertwine with prestigious international sporting and cultural events.
Östersund is a city where the words ‘local’ and ‘global’ often refer to the same thing, not least when it comes to the region’s dynamic food crafts. The City of Östersund, along with the Region of Jämtland Härjedalen, has been a ‘UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy’ since 2010.
In Östersund people know that work is important but they value leisure time just that slight bit more - fun note is that probebly everyone here own a shelljacket or five (!!) or please prove me the diffrent. Paddle along the shores of Lake Storsjön, go shopping in consious manners before a concert, or a sumptuous dinner at an award-winning restaurant?
Visit Östersund Tourist Center will help you to get the best experience out of your visit in Östersund.
