Les meilleurs hôtels à Linköping

An intellectual and religious center during the Middle Ages, Link?ping has grown into a modern center for technology and higher education. This city of over 130,000, lying southwest of Stockholm, enjoyed rapid growth after the founding of Link?ping University, the Institute of Technology and the University Hospital. Saab started an aircraft manufacturing plant in the suburbs in 1937, and Saab-Scania now employs about 6,000 people. About the same number work in health care in Link?ping. Next to the university is Mj?rdevi Science Park, home of a large number of computer and electronics companies. Even though Link?ping has developed into an industrial center and is Sweden's fifth-largest city, it maintains a small-town atmosphere. Old Link?ping is the restored town center with preserved buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The tower of the impressive Link?ping Cathedral, which took nearly 300 years to complete, can be seen from a distance of more than 10 kilometers. One of Sweden's top attractions, the G?ta Canal, passes through the countryside just outside Link?ping. At nearby sister city Norrkoping is Himmelstalund, one of the largest rock carving sites in Europe. The Bronze Age drawings include boats, animals and human beings, many of whom carry weapons.
