Sundsvall, the charming "Stone City" on the coast of Northern Sweden, welcomes cruise guests at its primarily industrial Tunadal Port. This is located approximately 2 to 5.5 kilometers northeast of the city center, which is why a shuttle bus or taxi is recommended for the transfer to the downtown area.

From the Sundsvall cruise port, you can reach the city center of the historic Stone City comfortably and quickly. Thanks to well-organized local logistics, various options are available for you to explore this northern Swedish coastal gem.
Shuttle Service
For ships docking at the Tunadal industrial port, located about five kilometers away, organized shuttle buses from the cruise lines are usually available. These will take you directly to the central marketplace, Stora Torget, in about ten minutes, ensuring a convenient transfer right into the heart of the city.
Taxi
Official taxis from local companies such as Sverigetaxi wait for passengers directly at the port terminal, offering a direct route to individual destinations. The trip to the city center is short and, thanks to the card payments common in Sweden, can be handled very easily and without cash.
On Foot and Local Bus (Din Tur)
If your ship is docked at the inner harbor near the city, you can reach the most important sights in a short walk of about five to ten minutes. Additionally, you can use the reliable local bus network operated by Din Tur to discover the surrounding area and viewpoints such as Norra Berget with ease.
To make the most of your stay in Sundsvall, we recommend exploring the magnificent architecture in the city center combined with a trip to the region's nature-oriented viewpoints.
Stenstaden
The historic Stone City impresses with its magnificent palaces from the Wilhelminian era and, thanks to its numerous charming cafes and exclusive boutiques, invites you to take an inspiring stroll through one of Sweden's most beautiful urban archives.
Norra Berget
This varied open-air museum towers high above the city and, in addition to fascinating insights into North Swedish cultural history, offers a spectacular panoramic view over Sundsvall and the deep blue Baltic coast.
Alnön & Tranviken
The nearby volcanic island of Alnön is known as the Hawaii of the North thanks to its picturesque coastal sections, and the fine sandy beach of Tranviken provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing break in the midst of untouched nature.
Norra Berget and the Stone City
The open-air museum Norra Berget is located on a prominent hill directly above the city center and is easily accessible from the harbor in about ten minutes by taxi or a short transfer. This idyllic location offers you one of the most beautiful panoramic views over the famous "Stone City" of Sundsvall as well as your cruise ship, and combines Swedish cultural history with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Once at the top, historical wooden houses and charming cafés such as "Kaffestugan" invite you to take a break with traditional pastries, while the well-maintained paths are perfect for a relaxing stroll in the greenery. It is best to visit Norra Berget directly in the morning to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the wide view in tranquility, and plan a leisurely stroll through the magnificent streets of the city center on the way back before returning to the ship in a relaxed manner about ninety minutes before departure.
The way back from the magnificent Stenstaden to the cruise terminal is very easy and relaxed thanks to the well-organized infrastructure and clear signage.

You will find taxis readily available at the main station Resecentrum as well as at central taxi ranks around the market square and in front of larger hotels such as the Elite Hotel Knaust. The drive to the port only takes a few minutes and the local drivers will take you directly to the security gate of your terminal.
On Foot
For berths in the immediate vicinity of the city, you can stroll along the well-maintained promenade back to the pier in a short time while enjoying the view of the Sundsvallsfjärden. The path is flat and safe, and easy to find thanks to the striking silhouette of the ships and the clear signposts in the city area.
