A beautiful and very quiet place in the wintertime (which means more than half of the year in Northern Sweden). During the week-end, when most visitors should be expected, everything is closed - the socalled visitor center, the museum house, the open-air museum, the shops, the restaurant...

The church village of Gammelstad or Kyrkbyn is very pretty with its coating of winter snow. On a Sunday whenit is snowing heavily it is also very deserted with nothing at all open - no cares or restaurants or even the visitor centre.

The restaurant Kaptensgården is great, well worth a visit. But make sure to book in advance since they only open on demand. But don't worry, prices are the same if you are 2 persons! Make sure to visit the exhibition at the Tourist Information, a great start to the tour. More
