Things to do for free in Linköping - Part I
Staying on a student budget, we restrict ourselves from doing many activities. Specially when you live in a country like Sweden, which is expensive in general, it is very delightful to hear to do some activities for free. As a student, there are certain things that you can do for free in Linköping.
1.Play Table Tennis
Table Tennis is my favorite sport. Before coming to Sweden, I always wondered where will I play Table Tennis and considering Sweden being expensive, I was also hoping it to be less expensive. If you’re a student and live with Studentbostäder, there are several table tennis rooms that you can book for free to play Table Tennis. There is also a table tennis association at university which organizes table tennis sessions every Wednesday at university. There is a one-time nominal fee to be a member and you can play for entire semester.
2. Ice-skating
In the winters, when many summer activities are closed, Ice skating is certainly a great option. During every winter, an ice skating ring is formed in the university just behind the Campushallen. If you have your own skates, the ring is completely free, however, you can also rent ice-skates, helmets and other equipment at Campushallen for just 40 SEK for the entire day.
3. Play Tennis
Tennis is one of the most famous sports during summer. It is a great sport to maintain health, fitness and strength. There are several tennis courts in Ryd that are available for free. No booking is needed. It is first-come-first-serve. Also, these courts are not indoors. But if you wish to play indoor tennis, there are courts available in Linköping.
4. Sauna
Sweden has a long Sauna history, and swedes really enjoy going to Sauna. Saunas are in abundance all over Sweden where they are commonly known as ‘bastu’. In Linköping, If you live with student housings like Studentbostäder or Heimstaden, you can book the sauna rooms for free. Currently due to energy crisis, many sauna rooms are not available for booking. Also, people book the Sauna rooms in very advance, so it is advised to plan your Sauna well in advance.
