Sundsvall-Härnösand Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

The airport is located halfway between the two cities that give it its name: about 21 km north of Sundsvall and 32 km south of Härnösand. The Flygbussarna connects to Sundsvall in about 30 minutes (120-150 kronor) following flight times, while for Härnösand the options are a taxi, about 30 minutes for 180 kronor, or public transport, which takes about 45 minutes. Sundsvall, being bigger, offers more choice of hotels and restaurants; Härnösand suits those aiming for the city itself or the nearby Höga Kusten coast.
