Jonkoping Mini Guide

Jonkoping is a small city in the south of Sweden which has around 85,000 inhabitants.

Jonkoping has an interesting history having been a centre of trade as it is located near to two rivers.



It is located in the region of Smaland and it is the seat of the Jonkoping Municipality. This city is surrounded by the Jonkoping County which has more than three hundred and thirty thousand residents.

Industry is very important there. The town was built on a thriving match stick making business and there are also major warehouses from the main Swedish companies such as IKEA.

There are also some tourists who wish to see the impressive lake Vattern which is at the heart of the stunning scenery around there. Within the lake there is also a large island which is worth seeing.



You can also drive to the nearby towns of Norrahammar and Huskvarna. However there is plenty to see within Jonkoping itself including attractive buildings like the Sofia church.  A good time of year to visit might be when the largest forestry fair in the world takes place during the summer. This attracts people from far and wide many of whom want to hire cars.
