If you only want to visit one museum when visiting Östersund and Jämtland, then choose the Jamtli. During the summer months, you can meet people from the past and experience the local culture up close. In winter, the museum transforms into a traditional Christmas market. Jamtli also hosts a unique underground exhibition that intricately narrates the history of Norrland. Among its treasures is the Överhogdal hangings, a 1000-year-old textile picture, Europe’s oldest and best-preserved. Awarded with three stars by Guide Michelin, Jamtli promises a captivating journey through time and culture.

Place Pierre Puget is a small square with a fountain covered in greenery—nice for a quick break. From here, take a walk through the Old Town’s main street down to the harbour. It’s an easy stroll with plenty to see along the way.

The Memorial de La Marseillaise tells the story of Marseille and the French national anthem. It is a compact museum found on Rue Thubaneau, whose staff are very friendly to visitors and eager to share the story of the quintessentially French tune and how it came into existence - paradoxically, not in the city of Marseille at all.
