Jönköping is found in southern Sweden on the edge of Vättern, the country's second-largest lake. The city is well-connected by road to Gothenburg to the west and Stockholm to the north-east. Hiring a car from Jonkoping Airport is suitable for anyone wishing to travel within the region and discover the natural beauty around Vättern, as well as the plentiful sightseeing opportunities and tourist attractions within the city itself.
Jönköping is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of safety matches; their production was a major part of the local economy, while the Sofia Church is a clear architectural highlight of the city.
Jonkoping has found fame since 2001 as the host of Dreamhack events – computer gaming tournaments which attract big names from the world of e-sports. Visitors can take a seat and watch the competitions or even bring along their own computers to join in the fun, although pre-registration is required. Given its popularity with players and spectators worldwide, hiring a car from Jonkoping Airport is a useful way to reach the venue once you've arrived in southern Sweden.
The Route 40 road west will get you to Gothenburg in under two hours; another great location to visit to experience more of the cosmopolitan culture of Sweden.
