With its exceptional landscapes and interesting tourist sites, the town of Söderköping graces the south of Sweden with its presence. This locality in the county of Östergötland fascinates history enthusiasts, as well as travelers in search of new sensations. Discover this beautiful Swedish city through activities that are as dynamic as they are captivating.
The city's historical heritage
The tourist destination par excellence, the town of Söderköping is like a splendid open-air museum for history buffs. If you take a short urban trek, you can reach the parish church of Saint Lawrence, dating from 1497 and decorated with medieval paintings. Also take a look at the church of Drothem, built in the 12th century and distinguished by its copper triptych.
Next to the museum, you will have the choice between the museum of the Sainte-Anne archipelago and that of the historic center of Söderköping. The museum of the Sainte-Anne archipelago relates its past, which is closely linked to hunting, navigation and fishing. The museum in the historic center, meanwhile, exhibits photos of the town of Söderköping through the years.
Finally, the Stegeborgs estate, with its castle, is the last stop on the cultural tour of Söderköping. The castle ruins seem ideally placed at the entrance to the Göta Canal, on the side of the boat on an island in Slätbaken.
Possible entertainment
Still in the Stegeborgs estate, fun activities around the park will allow you to make a smooth transition to a more playful vacation. A nice walk in the green park of Stegeborgs awaits you, while a good swim at Notholmens will help you relax.
You will be delighted by the natural environment, as there are many options available to you. Stroll, for example, through the Botanical Garden of Söderköping, breathing in the delicious scent of its native flowers. Do you have a particular interest in animals? Seize the opportunity to discover vibrant wildlife at the Nedre Lagnö nature reserve in the Sainte-Anne archipelago.
Finally, for fun water activities, try the yacht charter at Söderköping. A sailing trip to Aspholm Island is a must, especially if you're keen on veering off into the water in a canoe or kayak or on a water-jet-powered motorized craft.
