Norrköping is a town in constant transformation. It’s in the soul of the town and expresses itself in many different ways. In the past, Norrköping was an industrial town. Now creative, knowledge-driven enterprise is taking off, a process driven by our outstanding university, Campus Norrköping, which is our part of Linköping University.

Our location in the fourth-largest metro region is perfect — air traffic, maritime shipping, trains and European highways meet here. Here too are people with vision and creative ambitions, helping to make us the cultural capital of the region with a large range of entertainment, experiences and art.

In the middle of Norrköping you meet the soul of the town — the brick-red industrial area that towers up along the rapids and waterfalls of Strömmen. Here the old factories are filled with new content, which makes life richer and more fun. Along with the water, the parks and the shoreline promenades, they set a unique stamp on Norrköping.
