Living in the northern part of Sweden will be equal part sun and snow. During the summer months the sun never set and the light injection you will get is enough to last until the winter. Common for the northern part is the closeness to nature and our right to explore it almost indefinitely. Umeå River is running straight through the city and same as for our other locations the closeness to water offer a breathtaking view. Education has always been a priority area for Umeå and are home of one of Sweden's largest universities.

Umeå is located in the county of Västerbotten by the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. From here you can easily reach several domestic as well as international destinations using ferry traffic, air- or surface transport. There are daily flights to Stockholm Bromma airport which is located 20 min from Stockholm city and if you rather take the train that is also a good option. If you are lucky you might see the polar light, Aurora Borealis, while you are in Umeå. This is truly a spectacular sight to see.

Because there are more than 2300 Birch trees planted in the city center and this tradition dates back to the 19th century. Besides from being a beautiful green part of town they provide the citizens a healthy environment and are home to many species of nature. Even the local ice hockey team is called "Björklöven" (Birch tree leaves), that is how appreciated the trees are in this town.
