Audio Guide of Nordanå Park Skellefteå

The park area is public and open 24 hours a day, all year round. However, if you want to visit the Skellefteå Museum located inside, it is generally open from Tuesday to Sunday (check its website for holiday hours). It is only a 10–15 minute walk from the city center by following the river.

Walking through the gardens, viewing the historic buildings from the outside, and enjoying the playground area is completely free. Admission to Skellefteå Museum is also usually free, although some very specific temporary exhibitions may have a small fee.

If you are only going for a quick walk, 45 minutes is enough. But if you want to go into the museum, browse the craft shop (Lanthandeln), and have something to eat or drink, I recommend allowing between 2 and 3 hours to enjoy it without rushing.

Nordanå Park is not just a green space; it is the cultural heart of the region, preserving wooden buildings brought from different places to save them. It represents the traditional architecture of Västerbotten and rural life from past centuries in an idyllic setting.

Summer is beautiful because of the lush gardens and lively ponds. However, if you come in winter, Skellefteå’s famous Christmas Market transforms the place into a snowy fairy tale, a unique experience if you can handle the cold.

Yes, most of the park’s paths are paved or easy to navigate for wheelchairs and strollers. The museum’s main building also has an elevator and accessible restrooms to ensure access for all visitors.

You are very close to Bonnstan, the historic church town with hundreds of old wooden houses that is not to be missed. Visit the tourism website for more details about what to see in Skellefteå and combine both visits in one morning.

Do not leave without enjoying a traditional 'fika' (coffee and Swedish pastry) at Nordanågården; it has a very cozy atmosphere. Also, bring a good camera or smartphone, because the contrast between the red wooden houses and the surrounding nature is very Instagram-worthy.
