Latest Östersund hotel reviews
Toshioohsako Says: Go to Åre, most famous and largest ski resort in Sweden. It has also most challenging slopes.
elPierro Says: Storsjön (The Big lake) is one of Sweden's largest lakes in Sweden. The story goes that just like Loch Ness, there's some kind of monster swimming in the waters.If it's true?? At least there are plenty of mosquitoes and watersports are popular on this lake.
elPierro Says: One of the bigger buildings in Östersund is the town hall. It's just north of the shopping streets.
Sjalen Says: 400 metres up a steep road off the main road is a tall viewing tower which can also be seen from the town centre. Once here, you pay ten crowns and take the lift up to great views (in good weather) all the way to Norway. You will soon recognise Åreskutan's silhouette too....
Sjalen Says: We had some time to spare and decided that a leasurely cruise on the Storsjön would be nice. The ship used is s/s Thomée, one of the oldest steam ships in Sweden. The trip took two hours and the captain told us about various places where the great moster has been spotted but...
Sjalen Says: The home of composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger is an architectural masterpiece. "PB" as he is known here, came from another part of northern Sweden but early decided that the view from Frösön was the most romantic he had seen and decided to have a house built here - something...
Sjalen Says: This belongs to one of the best museums in Sweden to me! The indoor exhibitions show Same and viking culture and life in Jämtland through centuries, and includes the world famous and age old Överhogdal viking tapestries and many other viking artefacts. It also has quite a...
1 Review and 13 Opinions Have been staying in this hotel several times. It's a cozy, but very nice hotel right in the center...
Toshioohsako Says: Its a lively restaurant with pleasant service staff. The food is excellent. You can have local meet and fish food, pizza, etc. It has a bar inside the restaurant as well. I go there a few times when I ski at Åre. Swedish fish food, meat and pizzas.
Indisk Restaurant M: Don't miss good Indian food in Ostersund
punitworld Says: Excellent Indian Restaurant in Ostersund. The owner and staff are very friendly and cooperative. I stayed in Ostersund and visited this restaurant every single day. Fantastic food and hospitality make a great combination..... Dal Makhani - Tastes as if cooked at home
Sjalen Says: We never tried it as parenthood can make you exhausted after a days sightseeing and in a heatwave but this place looked nice and is generally mentioned as a good place to go in town when you want to meet people, drink and sometimes listen to a live band. They call it "Aussie...
elPierro Says: One of the more scenic rides in Sweden is the Innlandsbanan. The ride groes from northern situated Gällivare to Mora. Östersund is one of the bigger stops on the route and is the main connection point as trains between Trondheim and Sundsvall call at Östersund as well.The...
Sjalen Says: Trains from Stockholm are frequent and also run as night trains. There is a "mid Sweden" line from Sundsvall and Nabotåget trains from Trondheim, Norway. Apart from that, the famous Inlandsbanan trains stop here in summer. If you come by car, E14 is your road and Östersund...
Flaggbutiken: Flags and more flags
Sjalen Says: This place has all those flags your backpack has been waiting for! International, national, sami flags, pins, pirate flags! There is also a selection of Jämtland t-shirts and other souvenirs. A Jämtland flag is appropriate in this self proclaimed republic.
Sjalen Says: Storsjön is famous for being Sweden's Loch Ness and some even claim there is a secret passage to the Scottish lake. Whilst I don't doubt for one second that people have seen huge unidentified water creatures here, I think it might be because of the unique geology - some huge...
Sjalen Says: Being the capital, this is the place where you see more Jämtland flags than anywhere else as yes, this is a self proclaimed republic. Jämtland was Norwegian, then Swedish and all the time mostly independent in the "uncontrollable" highlands so there is a strong regional...
Sjalen Says: This is supposedly Jämtland's biggest tourist attraction for some bizarre reason. It's perfectly OK but how it can be the biggest here amongst the fells beats me completely. As a zoo, it is average with a small savannah, lions, tigers, monkeys and some others and it also has...
elPierro Says: Just west of Östersund the high mountains of Sweden show-up. If you take the train between Östersund and Trondheim (2x daily, 4hrs) you will have a nice scenic ride.
Sjalen Says: Yes, you read it correctly. Orphaned elks have found a second home on this farm in Orrviken, south west of Östersund. Difficult to reach by public transport but if you have a car I would say go for it. You are taken on a tour (twice a day) and told of elks and can also say...
