Discover Örnsköldsvik by Hire Car
The town of Örnsköldsvik is located in the very east of Sweden, right on the Gulf of Bothnia.
The city was founded in 1842 as a trading post and has since developed into a very important center of commerce along the Swedish Baltic coast.
Trade with other countries also takes place from Örnsköldsvik, but most of the goods are only shipped south or to the far north of the country.
Since its establishment, Örnsköldsvik has developed into a major industrial town. The paper and engineering industries in particular have been able to take advantage of the excellent infrastructural conditions and operate very successfully in Örnsköldsvik.
Sights in Örnsköldsvik
For tourists, Örnsköldsvik is only moderately interesting.
While there are definitely some sights, museums, historical buildings and the like in the city, to spend a whole holiday only in Örnsköldsvik is not enough.
Örnsköldsvik as the starting point of the journey
On the other hand, Örnsköldsvik is an excellent starting point for trips along the Swedish Baltic coast.
Örnsköldsvik has catered to the traveling tourists in the sense that it is wonderful to hire car here with which you can then embark on further exploration along the Swedish coast.
A hire car is not only practical but simply necessary – public transport outside the cities is very limited and its density decreases steadily the further north you go.
