Things to see and do Norrland

This small information centre does not belong to Abisko Turiststation although it is located right next door. It is an information centre of the national park, which focuses its services on discovering nature. It organises free guided tours all summer long and gives information about nature trails. It also has books to help you recognize the fauna and flora of the surrounding area. Playful and very interesting, you will spend a good hour and a half there.

Opened in 2014, Guitars - The Museum is located on the top floor of the old school on Vasagatan Street in central Umeå. Featured are hundreds of guitars from the 1950s and 1960s, including some very rare models that belonged to music stars, brought together here by two passionate brothers. If you like rock'n'roll or blues, or if you are a passionate musician, we recommend that you take a look at this museum like no other! The whole history of an era and a culture that deserves to be preserved!
