Very nice as many old house & buildings actually have been moved to Gamla Linköping. Not only an Open-Air museum as people are living here and several small business make their living here.
I have been to many open air museums. This one is very authentic and offers a great range of buildings and gardens. No entrance fee. Nice restaurant too.
Provides a vivid insight into the historical architecture of Linköping. The property interiors are brought to life by helpful, knowledgeable staff. Excellent café with outdoor seating and a great range of cakes, together with representations of historic businesses, shops and a bank.
My son and I had a lovely time this summer ( 2014 ) …beautiful gardens, little nice old stores… the Cloetta sweet store, my son called it the chocolate factory
Old houses were moved to this special spot in Linköping. Located rather central in the city. It is nice to stroll around and look at old buildings. There is also an outlet for Choclate :-) from Cloetta.
We passed a great afternoon ambling amongst the quaint cobblestone streets, popping in and out of the many old fashioned shops, and enjoyed a traditional Swedish lunch at one of the many restaurants there!
The place is beautiful with old houses. However since it was winter, most of the shops are extremely quiet with closed doors, and most of them are not opened. The cafe was nice with good coffee and cakes.
This part of city is living history, at the same time there are people there who live and have small workshops there. Even one hotell! Educational attractions for children, beautiful gardens around houses. You can enter everywhere. There is also open-air theater and nice shop with different sweets for very good price. Enjoy!
as it was winter and it was a week day only shops were open and not much activity I guess but had a good look at the old buildings.
I visited on a Saturday when the Christmas market was on. As I did not have a lot of time I mostly perused the stalls and didn't go into any of the museums of which there was a good range. There are several cafes and interesting shops, it would be a great day out combined with for example a bike ride in the nearby woods.
