Gästrikland

Located snugly in the heart of Sweden, Gästrikland is a delightful blend of quirky charm and Nordic elegance, perfect for design aficionados and lovers of the good life. Just a stone’s throw north of Stockholm, this region’s treasures are found in the lively cities of Gävle, Sandviken and Hofors. In Gävle, be sure to spot the infamous Gävle Goat, a giant straw figure that’s either celebrated or mischievously burned down each Christmas. Sandviken dazzles with avant-garde art installations, while Hofors invites you to unwind by its serene lakes. This is where lush forests whisper ancient tales and salmon leap joyfully in pristine rivers. Gästrikland is a spirited experience brimming with culture, innovation and natural beauty, offering a uniquely Swedish adventure for the discerning traveller.
