Flygvapenmuseum

Flygvapenmuseum, the Swedish Air Force Museum, is a modern technical and cultural history museum with exhibitions that trace the development of military aviation from the pioneers of the early 20th century to the present. It offers a unique collection of aircrafts, many of which can only be seen at the Swedish Air Force Museum. Perhaps the most spectacular object in the collection is the Swedish DC-3, an aircraft that was a shot down by a Soviet fighter aircraft in 1952. More than fifty years later the DC-3 was found, salvaged and put to its final resting place here at the museum. Flygvapenmuseum is a place where knowledge and play come together in a natural way. The museum's science centre, the Flight Lab, features flight simulators and experimental stations on the theme of flying. Become a pilot for a day and sit behind the controls of the flight simulator - like flying for real!

Highly recommended for those who'd like to taste the aviation history (mainly Scandinavian) and its evolution through time. Being in the Scandinavia's aviation capital one could imagine who grand and elaborate the museum must be and apart from that it is doesn't costs anything.

This was my first time in Linköping and I stayed the bed and breakfast in Gamla linköping and I was nog disappointed. The whole area with its small shops, preserved buildings from a long lost time was wonderful just to wander around in and enjoy. Loved the mini-museums as well. Will definitly return to Linköping just for this place

Kolmarden Wildlife Park

Kolm�rden Zoo is unique. There is no other place which has so many animials and species of animals all brought together in one and the same place. Stand eye to eye with a wolf, or a tiger or a lion. Admire the giraffe, the rhinoceros and the polar bear. Th

Vadstena Klosterkyrka

Reviewed By StevenKolsteren - Groningen, The Netherlands

The church and monastery were at the time of our visit, very quiet, at a peaceful lake. The story of Saint Birgitta is very interesting. There are several nice sculptures representing her, one in ecstasy, another more realistic. The church also had fine altarpieces. The town itself is well worth a visit too, with wooden houses and a castle as a bonus.
