Tips & Advice

  • Visit on Friday or Sunday if you want to avoid the worst crowds, because Saturday is when the market draws the most visitors.
  • Take the bus so you don't have to hunt for parking. Show your ticket at Jamtli Kafé or Restaurang Hov for half-price coffee or tea.
  • Buy your bus ticket in the Länstrafiken app or pay by card on board, because the Länstrafiken buses do not take cash.
  • Bring your own kåsa or mug, because it gets you half-price coffee or tea with fika at Jamtli Kafé or food at Restaurang Hov.
  • Allow plenty of time, because your ticket also includes all exhibitions in the county museum and Nationalmuseum Jamtli, on top of the market.
