Östersund was founded for trade reasons and we are still very much a town for commerce. The city centre is full of shops. You find the international chains side by side with quirky boutiques where the stock reflects the owner´s personality. At Lillänge you find the large shopping complexes and along Bangårdsgatan the second-hand shops are easy to find. Here are some local shopping tips!
In Östersund, it is easy to shop. The city center is small and easy to walk through. The shops are close together and the alleys and other shopping streets are well intertwined. In addition to our small shops with everything from local handicraft products, sales of food crafts, glassmaking and other art from the county, there are also the larger chain stores with sporting goods, groceries and clothing.
