This space holds a guitar similar to the one Keith Richards used to play the Honky Tonk Women riff. And here's one like the one Eric Clapton used for his solo in Layla. And the kind that Jimi Hendrix set on fire in Monterrey. But how in the world did these and hundreds more rare and priceless guitars from the 1950s and 1960s end up in Umea and become Guitars - The Museum? Why aren't they hanging in the MoMA in New York, or in the Tate Modern in London? This is the story of how the Ahden twins from Vannasby managed to put together the world's finest collection of vintage guitars surreptitiously, almost in secret. Guided tours 12.00, 15.00 & 17.00.

I wasn't sure I wanted to go, as I feared looking at a bunch of guitars would be boring (no matter how old and unique they were). I finally went as my airbnb host insisted that it was something not to miss. I was pleasantly surprised: I arrived in time for the guided tour, and got a glimpse of the crazy stories around some of these guitars, thanks to a very knowledgeable guide. Never got bored. Even if you're not passionate about guitars, I would recommend a visit!

Experience Umea from a different perspective in our electric pod taxi on three wheels. It takes two passengers and travels on bikepaths, along the river and smaller streets. Travel to your hotel or the sights of your choice like a taxi or book a 30 minute ride by the river or a 60 minute guided audio-tour of Umeå which is offered in Swedish, English or German. Make an impact and chose an eco-friendly and fun alternative! Welcome!

It is a small open air museum. We were there during the Samisk veckan (the sami week) in march and they had activities and real reindeer on the premises :) Thanks to a recent snowfall and perfect blue sky it was a great day to visit the museum. The museum building also houses some interesting collections and exhibitions about the region.

I use to visit this amazing forest at least three times a year. It’s as beautiful in the spring as in the fall. You can se all kinds of trees from all over the world, bring a picnic and sit down by the river and enjoy the full nature. It’s also possible to go to the restaurant and eat an amazing dinner or just take a coffee. This is one of my favorite places to go both alone, with my family and friends, don’t miss out on this beautiful place!

Located in the middle of Umeå you’ll find the cultural institution Norrlandsoperan. Since its foundation in 1974, Norrlandsoperan has developed from a regional opera ensemble into a centre for performing arts. Norrlandsoperan includes Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra and departments for opera, dance, music and contemporary art. In house we have four stages, production, workshops, studios and our own box office.
