Gamla Linköping
The town’s best attractions lie just outside the centre. Gamla Linköping, 2km west of the city, is one of the biggest living-museum villages in Sweden. It’s a gorgeous combo of cobbled streets, picket-fenced gardens and around 90 19th-century houses. There are about a dozen themed museums (all free, with various opening times), artisan shops and a small chocolate factory. Take bus 202 or 214 (Skr20).

Slotts- & Domkyrkomuseum
The struggle between church and state is explored in the Slotts- & Domkyrkomuseum, where the bolshy King Gustav Vasa and the last Catholic bishop, Hans Brask, made friends, ate, drank and fell out again. Archaeological finds include two mummified black rats from the bishop’s privy.

Östergötlands Länsmuseum
Just north of the cathedral, Östergötlands Länsmuseum has a decent European art collection (Cranach’s painting of Eden, Original Sin, is wonderful, with a smiling Eve twiddling her toes), and Swedish art dating from the Middle Ages.
