Svartvik bears the memories from 200 years of northern Swedish industrial history, evolving from a loading dock to a shipyard, steam sawmill, and pulp factory. Today, Svartvik will be a point of interest with displays of its history, park like environment, playgrounds for the children, one of the oldest water towers in Sweden and a skittle alley, where you can try to play just like the patrons did during the peak of the logging industry. Visit the exhibition featuring a 7-meter-long model of Svartvik in the 1930s. In the summer, a variety of activities are organised by the Svartvik Days Association. In the winter, image and storytelling evenings with historical themes are arranged. Dine at the manor house, enjoy a coffee at Café Svartvik, or visit the antique shop.

The Kulturmagasinet consists of four old harbour warehouses in the Stone City of Sundsvall, which were glazed over in 1986 to form today's cultural centre. It houses Sundsvall city library, Sundsvall Museum, a café, the Medelpad Archive and much more. It offers culture for everyone, with special activities aimed at children throughout the year.

Jardin d'Essai du Hamma is the name of the city's botanical garden, which gives you an insight into the beauty of North African nature. It was established by the French during occupation and today features impressive plants and flowers of the region. Stroll through the green meadows and relax in the shadow of the tall trees.
