Norrköping is a city located in the Ostergotland County of southeast Sweden, known for its historic contributions to Swedish industry particularly in paper and textiles and nicknamed 'the Manchester of Sweden' in light of these significant contributions.
Hiring a car in Norrköping allows you to combine some historical fact-finding at its many museums with plenty of diversion within its major shopping district, as well as the beautiful Promenades suitable for a saunter in warm weather and worth seeing even in colder conditions. There's also the amazing zoo located 3 km north-east of Norrköping, featuring Scandinavia's only dolphin habitat.
The Arbetets Museum is a great place to start your stay in Norrköping; here you will learn about the role the city played in Sweden's industrial history, and discover what life was like for workers in this region during this time period. A site containing rock carvings from the Bronze Age is located two kilometres west of the city; hire a car in Norrköping to get there conveniently.
Why not experience a bit of the beautiful outdoors and go to Ageljson, a lake located outside of the city. Here you can swim, go walking, bike riding, or just relax and enjoy the natural beauty on offer.
