Jönköping

Jönköping is picturesquely located on the southern shore of Lake Vättern, Sweden's second-largest lake, and is surrounded by a unique lake landscape. The city has strong historical ties to the matchstick industry, impressively showcased by the Tändsticksmuseet (Matchstick Museum). Along the promenades of Vättern and Munksjön, the vibrant city center with its cafés and shops invites you to linger. A trip to the nearby Habo kyrka, an impressive 17th-century wooden church, offers insight into regional architecture. From Jönköping, you can also quickly reach charming Gränna and the idyllic island of Visingsö, which are ideal for day trips. The summer months are ideal for enjoying swimming and outdoor activities by the lake, while spring and autumn allow for more tranquil explorations.
