Rådhuset and other Jönköping, Sweden Things to Do Tips

This old building dates back to 1860 where it was first used as a school. However, as the school expanded with their intake, they built a new building near it and moved.

The building was then taken over by the Municipality of Jönköping in the 1920s. It is a very old building but the interior is still very well-maintained. With high ceilings, no two rooms are the same.

The municipality holds a meeting there every fortnight. Kung Carl Gustav XVI and Drottning Silvia have visited :)

You can also relax and take a walk in the big park just in front of it. It is also near Lake Vattern and Munksjön.

Address: Rådhuset
Directions: From the train / bus station, turn left and walk up till the end of the street. It will be on your right.

Jönköping, at the bottom tip of Lake Vättern, is a good vantage point. At the train station, you can cross the overhead bridge. This will bring you a long walking / biking trail that goes for a bit around the lake.

It is the prettiest in the morning, especially on days where the skies are clear. Swedes like to sit out and enjoy the good weather.

It is a very nice walk! Tell me if you enjoyed it :)
