My dear readers,

Summer is just around the corner, and we’ve made it through another year of university! I can’t believe I’ve already finished two years—only one more to go. Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons, and with all the free time ahead, there’s so much to do in and around Linköping. If you’re looking for ideas, here are some of my top recommended activities:

Hiking:
Linköping and the Östergötland region are full of beautiful hiking trails. Head out to Tinnerö nature reserve for a scenic walk or explore the forest trails around Valla. The area is full of lush greenery, peaceful lakes, and wildlife. Perfect for clearing your mind after exams.

Swimming:
Cool off from the summer heat by swimming in one of Linköping’s lakes! Rengen and Roxen are popular spots where you can take a dip and soak in the sunshine. If you prefer a pool, the outdoor one at Tinnerbäcksbadet is also a great option.

A Day at the Beach:
For a full-on beach day, head out to Stafsäter Gård or one of the nearby beaches by Lake Vättern. Bring your sunscreen, a good book, and enjoy a day lounging by the water.

BBQ/Picnic with Friends:
Summers are all about enjoying time with friends. Pack up a picnic or organize a BBQ at one of the parks in the city. Trädgårdsföreningen is one of the most popular spots—bring some food, play some games, and make a day of it!

Shopping:
For those who love retail therapy, head to Gränden or Tornby Shopping Center. From local shops to big brands, you’ll find everything you need to freshen up your wardrobe or grab a summer treat.

Strawberry Picking:
Summer means strawberries! Visit one of the local farms around Linköping to pick your own fresh strawberries. A trip to Väderstad or Ryd could make for a fun, tasty outing, and nothing beats the sweetness of freshly picked berries.

 

Whatever you do, remember to take some time off and relax so that you’re fully energised for the new semester!

 

Till next time,

Shivani <3
