I’ve studied here for almost four years and as of writing this worked here for almost one year. Linköping is a nice city that got almost everything you could ever want without being so big it’s cumbersome to travel around in it. With stores focused around two places in town with good bus connections between them it’s easy to go shopping.

For those, like me, who enjoy motor sports we got a motor arena in the outskirts with both tarmac and dirt tracks where you can go to see racing events of different kinds or to just drive some gokart with your friends. A stone toss away lies Mantor with it’s famous track Mantorp Park (where the season finale of the STCC racing event) takes place.

If you ever feel the need to get to a larger city you can easily get to Stockholm in under two hours by train (90min with the faster one) or down to Malmö in less then three hours.

I highly recommend paying Linköping a visit if you get a chance, bringing friends is always a good suggestion. We might not have incredible amounts of “must see” places here, but there is plenty of stuff to do without haivng to spend half a day traveling to get there. :)
