One of your objectives when arriving at Linkoping Airport is to cut down on costs so you can enjoy Sweden better. So instead of going through the high taxi fees, settling for a car rental from the airport is a worthy option. However, there are a few things you need to know about airport car rentals.

One, it is advisable to book early in your travel instead of when you arrive; car rental companies tend to hike their prices on late bookings. Two, you need to understand the driving rules of Sweden first hand before driving out of the airport. And lastly, try and find out if there are any additional fees apart from what you paid and if you are fully covered for both personal and third party accidents while on the road.

Enjoying Linkoping Attractions

With your car hire needs sorted, it is now time to enjoy the attractions Sweden has to offer. There are famous landmarks within the town to sightsee, and here are a few of them.

The City’s Old Town - one thing you will find interesting is how this old town isolates itself from the main city life. While you may not see some of the old buildings present, you will appreciate the age old craftsmanship that has been handed down several generals. The old town is full of craft shops to showcase this age old art which has provided a living for the locals and memorabilia for tourists.
The Old Castle - you have to see to believe how old this castle is. It is said to be the oldest edifice in the whole of Sweden. It holds parts that are from the 12 century and others from the 13 century. It served as the residential place for Linkoping’s Bishop and the Diocese of the town. Today it stands as a museum detailing the past history in chronological accounts.
Cathedral Tower - this is a good point to view the city’s skyline and perhaps a bit of landscape photography. The tower was first constructed in the 17 century before being renovated in the 18 century. The tower rises 107 meters in the air, giving a breathtaking view of the town.
Folke Filbyter Statue - there is a lot of controversy surrounding this statue. Despite its beautiful molding of a man on a horse, the real story about the rider (Folke Filbyter) is that he used to eat young horses.

With the weird story of a statue to towns older than the First World War, Linkoping definitely has something to leave you nostalgic about.
