Located in inland Scandinavia and connected to Sundsvall on the east, lies Östersund. Crammed with natural beauty, Östersund gives tourists the opportunity to experience scenic sightseeing tours and hiking trails.
For those flying into Östersund Airport, hiring a car is the best option to make the most of the city's thriving music scene. With many concerts playing throughout the year, this is the city to discover up-and-coming Nordic talent. Badhusparken is also within easy reach while in the city of Östersund – it is popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer and in winter it turns into Sweden's largest ice-skating rink.
For a snapshot into Swedish history, tourists should head to the Jamtlands lans museum, which is located only a short 15 minute drive from the airport. This indoor-outdoor museum gives tourists a great insight into what life was like for the people of the city hundreds of years ago.
Rent a car from Froso Airport and take another short drive to Frösö Zoo. Here tourists can see many different species including Siberian tigers, hyenas and various lizards and snakes.
