Every design for Norrtälje

Where Norrtäljeviken pushes furthest inland lies Norrtälje, the town in the middle of Roslagen. The archipelago and the Uppland coastal country meet here, and the nearness of the water marks everything. As the main town of its municipality, Norrtälje is a gathering point for this whole part of Stockholm County, where the sea is never far away.

The town's pulse beats at Stora Torget, and all around are places that tell of the district. The Roslagen museum preserves the local history, while the Norrtälje anti-aircraft museum draws anyone taken with technology and defence. Walk on and you find Gullbacken and the old Brodd's stone, and for the tractor enthusiast there is even the Norrtelje veteran tractor club – small-town charm in a nutshell.

It is the setting that makes Norrtälje. The archipelago islands outside, the forests within and the bay tying it all together. For anyone who grew up with the Roslagen light over the water or spent summers at the head of the bay, a map like this sits exactly where it should – as a reminder of where you belong, however far away life has taken you.
