Where Should I go: Linkoping or Bregenz?
Linkoping
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.
Bregenz
Bregenz is the capital city of Vorarlberg and has almost 30,000 residents. It sits on the northern edge of the Alps on the edge of Lake Constance, which is one of the largest lakes in Europe. The city is popular as a travel destination during the summer months when it hosts several festivals. The most famous and popular one is the summer music festival, Bregenzer Festspiele.
