METROPOLIS IN PIXELS: HUDISKVALL, SWEDEN

North of Gävle, HUDIKSVALL, the provincial capital of Hälsingland, makes for a leisurely stop en route to the bigger towns and tourist centres further north. Its wood-panelled architecture and convenience for visiting the natural beauty of the nearby Hornslandet peninsula, jutting out into the Gulf of Bothnia, are the main draws. Train services are frequent along this stretch of coast.
