The kids have a great time petting the animals or playing in the park. Some stores that are open in summer. Visiting the animals is great in the winter as you can go right inside the cages and pet them. In the summer they're locked up in the outdoor cages. Not much to do for adults though.

Easy to get to, the bus stops right outside. Have been to a family winter Sunday, with lots of free activities for kids and a great atmosphere. It's still ok to go to in winter, being an open air museum, but there are also lots more activities open in summer. The café at Gamla is very nice too. Will have... More

I grew up in LInköping and spent alot of time here as a child. If you are planning a visit to Linköping you have to take a walk or the local bus and have a look in this old preserved part of Linköping. If you have a look at Linköpings calender you can see if they have markets, dances or... More

Nice presentation of early town with some lovely shops. The children's' toy shop is wonderful and has a great selection of books, too. Beautiful walks all throughout and leading to park and horse camp behind Gamla Linkoping.

Worth a visit if you happen to be in Linköping, especially when you have kids around. Very classic houses around and it is very nice to explore how Swedish in 1900 used to live

It is definitely a must, when you are visiting Linköping! Swedes have collected old building from all over Linköping and presented in a very interesting way showing the history of the countryside with farm animals. You can see how people in early 1900 used to live, and what did they do and what kind of interests did they have. All... More

It's like any other pioneer village you've ever been to...just the Swedish version. They actually have businesses operating out of some of the heritage buildings so you can buy flowers or handmade gifts. Everyone was very friendly. The buildings are bright and colorful. There are pretty little gardens here and there growing Heirloom varieties of flowers and herbs. We didn't... More

I have actually lived close to Gamla Linköping and Valla for many years, so I have spent a lot of time there - especially with my children.The time is supposed to have stopped in the year 1900 or so. Gamla Linköping is the town part, in which you can see genuine old buildings and houses that are actually lived in.... More
