Umea Travel Guide: Sightseeing, Hotel, Restaurant & Shopping Highlights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511901260)

Umea is the largest city in northern Sweden. Once just the unassuming capital of the Vasterbotten province, this university-town has recently gained international prominence after it was named as the European Capital of Culture for 2014. Umea is set in picture-postcard natural surroundings and has a vibrant and diverse culture, thoroughly justifying its selection to the coveted European title. A visit to Umea will make you wonder how a city so beautiful and with so much to offer could stay out of the tourist radar for so long.
