Love treats
As everyone knows, fika is a must during a romantic weekend and Umeå has a large selection of cafes to choose from.

Alternatively, you can settle down next to the city center at one of Umeå's historical cafes, Nya Konditoriet, which for many decades has been an obvious meeting place for the people of Umeå. Here you can also taste the local delicacy Slabang.
