Linköping - Where HISTORY Comes ALIVE | Students, Fighter Jets and Bloodbaths

Linköping is Sweden's fifth biggest city and it lies on the Östgöta Plain, between Stockholm and Gothenburg. These days it's known as a student town, but it has a surprisingly bloody history!

In this video I show you the most interesting areas of Linköping, and I also tell you about the history of the town. To spice it all up, I also give you some personal notes and observations coming from someone who actually lived there for 11 years - both as a student, and while working.

The places I show in this video include:

Stortorget, the main square of Linköping
Trädgårdsföreningen, a calm oasis in the middle of the town
Tropikhuset, a cafe that you can find in Trädgårdsföreningen
Linköping Cathedral, one of the biggest cathedrals in the Nordics
Linköping Castle, where a trial was held that led to the Linköping Bloodbath
Gamla Linköping (Old Linköping), an open-air museum that takes you back to the 19th century
Stångån, the creek that runs through town
Ågatan, the very short but (regularly) very lively party street
The Linköping Air Force Museum
Bergs slussar, part of the 190 km long canal Göta Canal
Linköping University, including the (informally named) Viagra Park
And of course, I show you the pride of Linköping - Bosses Ice Cream Shop!

Along the way I also marvel at the cheap hot dogs you can find here, tell of drunken exploits at various night clubs, show some clips from the geek conventions LinCon and NärCon, and a lot more.
