CityCulture

Vimmerby in Småland is inextricably linked with children's author Astrid Lindgren and exudes an idyllic small-town atmosphere. The main attraction is Astrid Lindgrens Värld, a theme park that faithfully recreates settings from her books and offers an interactive experience. Astrid Lindgrens Näs, her birthplace, also offers insights into her life and the origins of her stories. Vimmerby's charming town center complements this with traditional wooden houses and small shops. Book tickets for the theme park online early in summer to avoid waiting times and enjoy the full experience.
