Linkoping On a Budget
Linkoping, Sweden
Linkoping is in the northern portion of the Gotaland region and is the capital of Ostergotland county. The city has all of the amenities of a larger city, but manages to maintain the feel and atmosphere of a quaint small town. This is mainly due to the lack of tall buildings within the city limits. Building height is restricted by the nearby military airfield, so Linkoping has a cosy ambiance that leads you to believe that you're somewhere hidden away. The university that is located here also helps create the feel of a college town. The students are well integrated into city life and help bring energy and entertainment to town, both in the form of cultural events during the day as well and an active night life in the evening.
The regions surrounding Linkoping are predominantly farmland. A fun day's activity is to rent a bicycle and head out of town. There are some interesting castles and churches as you venture further into the countryside.
Linkoping's climate is warmer than you might expect for its latitude but still quite cool. Temperatures during the summer months typically reach an average high of around 20 degrees Celsius, and during the winter months the highs are around freezing.
