STF HOSTEL PITEÅ

Piteå is much more than the midnight sun and pitepalt, northern Sweden’s famous potato dumplings.

It is a popular city for tourists, making up half of all summer tourists to Norrbotten, while the Pite seaside resort and its shallow beach has a place in many people’s hearts.

The hostel is located in what was once Piteå’s first hospital and is surrounded by the beautiful park grounds of Badhusparken. Guests are accommodated in double or multiple-bed rooms. Badhusparken is just a stone’s throw away from the centre and holds a loppis (flea market) in its grounds every week.

The foundation of modern day Piteå is Öjebyn, a church village originating from the 15th century. The village is made up of cabins that were used to accommodate church visitors from afar, and a church market is still held here each summer according to old tradition. Piteå also has a fantastic archipelago which offers genuine cultural environments and wonderful swimming spots with daylight 24-hours a day – at least during summer. The Storforsen rapids are an hour inland, and a wonderful place to visit.
