- Linköping is Sweden's fifth biggest city and it lies on the Östgöta Plain, between Stockholm and Gothenburg. These days it's known as a student town, but it has a surprisingly bloody history!
For more videos every week, subscribe to the channel: th-cam.com/users/threestarvaga...
Also, join the Three Star Vagabond Facebook group to discuss upcoming videos: / threestarvagabond
In this video I show you the most interesting areas of Linköping, and I also tell you about the history of the town. To spice it all up, I also give you some personal notes and observations coming from someone who actually lived there for 11 years - both as a student, and while working.
The places I show in this video include:
- Stortorget, the main square of Linköping
- Trädgårdsföreningen, a calm oasis in the middle of the town
- Tropikhuset, a cafe that you can find in Trädgårdsföreningen
- Linköping Cathedral, one of the biggest cathedrals in the Nordics
- Linköping Castle, where a trial was held that led to the Linköping Bloodbath
- Gamla Linköping (Old Linköping), an open-air museum that takes you back to the 19th century
- Stångån, the creek that runs through town
- Ågatan, the very short but (regularly) very lively party street
- The Linköping Air Force Museum
- Bergs slussar, part of the 190 km long canal Göta Canal
- Linköping University, including the (informally named) Viagra Park
- And of course, I show you the pride of Linköping - Bosses Ice Cream Shop!
Along the way I also marvel at the cheap hot dogs you can find here, tell of drunken exploits at various night clubs, show some clips from the geek conventions LinCon and NärCon, and a lot more.

Three pivotal years of my life was spent in this city and its the foundation for the rest of my life! Linköping i mitt hjärta !
It's a brilliant little town! Spent a good 12 years there, and it was a great time.
I love Linkopings University. I studied there.
I did too :D And same here, I really loved my time there!
i really like your takes on these cities. you always include fun information ! tack !
Yay thanks! Really appreciate hearing that :D
Very interesting video - thanks for sharing all this information! 😊
A pleasure :D Just happy to share!
Very interesting history . Thanks for sharing another cool video 👍
Thank you so much for checking it out :D
Really good video, as someone who grew up and is still living here i have to say you really covered a lot!
Thanks a lot! :D Happy to hear that - I really like the place, so it was a lot of fun to do this video :D
This was a great look at the city, thank you! :D
Yay thanks! :D It was really fun to go there :D
Thanks for sharing such a neat place...and giving us a bit of Three-Star history in the process!
Oh, yeah...also loved the bit about the regional dialect!
@@ChristopherGronlund Really happy that that bit was interesting! I'm just sorry that I couldn't demonstrate it - it wouldn't really make sense for non-Swedes even if you heard it, and...well...Swedes know very well how it sounds :D
Very Interesting I watched your all vedios and they are super awsome happy and keep it up ✌🏻
Thank you so much, and will do :D Really happy that you enjoy them!
babe wake up, new three star vagabond video dropped❤
Lol! :D Maybe I should post them later to not disturb people's sleep ;D
It does look really nice there, the cafe/greenhouse was really neat to see!
I'm happy I went there then - it was more of an afterthought really, and I just dropped in along the way :D
You forgot Linköping Library, such a great place, been there just a few weeks ago, absoluteley worth visiting!
I have to admit that I struggle to remember what the Library is like... When I was studying I went to the campus library, and afterwards I bought books. Sorry! 😊
Loved it ❤ wrote on Facebook 😊
Yay thank you! :D Appreciate the comments - both there and here :D
Linköping was also home to an online game developer named Hammock ADB. They made Leo Steel, Flea World, Feather Keeper and Spectral Wizard, all a huge part of my childhood!
I had no idea about that! Didn't play those games so I completely missed it :D
I love open-air museums and have visited them in Stockholm-Sweden several in Canada, Odense-Denmark, Iceland, Salem-Massachusetts, Belfast-Northern Ireland and Little Norway, Little Netherlands streets in Washington, US. Seeing how the common people lived back in their traditional communities is a great break from the endless castles, palaces and other places where the Uber-wealthy lived.❤
I need to visit more of them in those places you mention! I've never been to Iceland or Salem for example. There's so much to explore, and so little time... But one of these days I'll get to see those open-air museums too.
One of your old videos featured Närcon here in Linköping, so this summer even tho I will have to travel a lot from the north , I will grab my hubby and we shall visit this beautiful cute town and Närcon there and all thanks to you! Tack så mycket! 🌞😎
That's marvellous! Too bad about the long trip, but I'm sure that NärCon will be brillant this summer. I plan on being there the entire weekend myself too :D Cheers!
@@ThreeStarVagabond I will say hi if I see you and we can do some colab youtube shots 😁😁
@@ResonatingSweden Please do! Haha, that'd be awesome, so I look forward to it now :D
An interesting look at your old university town, and I can imagine the fun you had studying there. Linköping looks very peaceful, at least when the students are not around. 🤣
Haha exactly! If I go there in August for the annual "alumni-get-drunk-meetup" I might show another side of the town ;D But it really is a pleasant town. There's a reason I remained there for 12 years or so. But Stockholm is a lot more fun, I have to say!
You can tell how much he loves Linköping lol, tack för att du delade med videon!
Haha, svårt att inte gilla stället när man blev kvar 11 år! Men tack så mycket :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Jag ska själv börja plugga i Linköping denna höst! Har du några personliga rekommendationer på vad man kan göra och så? Förutom typ att spela gittar och drycka på en park 💀
@@teemo8247 Det kommer vara en hel del med skolan i början skulle jag tro. Fester, träffa nya folk, spelkvällar, kravaller, studieträffar, tentaplugg, osv. Helt ärligt tror jag det bästa är att bara försöka hinna med allt sånt det första året :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond TACK!!!
@@teemo8247 Lycka till! :D
I had my lemon gelato there as I did in Paris and several stops in Italy.
Lingoping is quite a beautiful city, a lot different than some places you’ve been. I used to sit by the boat locks near or summer house and watch the first timers make mistakes, then get yelled at by the harbor master, quite a good time. You were right all good story’s don’t start with I was sitting there drinking earl grey tea, I went to buy a motorcycle from a gentleman and noticed the front forks we at different heights, ask him what happened, his answer was , I was at a bar, left the key on that killed the battery, got a push to jump start it an ran into the back of a parked car, hope he sold the motorcycle 😅. Stay safe till next time
Haha! What, didn't you buy the motorcycle after that story?! :D That's brilliant! But thank you, and yes indeed, I actually like Linköping quite a bit. There's no ocean / sea by it though. Otherwise I just might have remained there still...
Careful of Pitceon drops ☔!!! Love 💕 Ice-cream at winter time too!!! 😂
Haha! Agreed, ice cream works every time of the year :D
Hi from North Carolina. I have watched many of your videos and this one is a favorite. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and its history. I do hope to live there some day, God willing. I pray that the Swedish office of migration will grant me permanent residence. Praise the Lord! God bless you Sir. I don't know your name brother, but keep it up. God has given you a gift.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it! :D Fingers crossed that you'll make it then, and that everything will work out. Sweden is a pretty nice place after all - although I'm biased ^_^ Cheers, and all the best to you!
Thank you. Cheers!
@@ThreeStarVagabondI have visited this beautiful place (Linkoping) on my trip here now. Unfortunately it was only one day and many hours of driving in one day. I would like to go back and see the museum and more of the whole town.
@@roguewar88 Happy that you got to see it but too bad that there's so much travel time for you! Sweden isn't as tiny as one imagines, so it takes quite a long time to drive between the cities unfortunately.
Pigeons are gross. In New York, they're called flying rats. When I was a kid in the 80s, my German school friend gave me a nice hardcover book about the history of the Saab/Scania corporation.
I have to admit that I kinda like pigeons! But then again I like rats too ;D Oh wow, that sounds either really interesting or really dull, depending on what's inside the book.
Vagabond has a shop in Linköping. 3:56 😅
It looks like a pretty nice city. I actually love Swedish small cities. They have all some kind of unique features and histories. Thank you, 3-S Vagabond so we have learnt why you are a bit freak 😊. You had a very active university life.
I am sorry about I am in a kind of writer block. For this time I couldn't write a lore for Linköping. Next time, I will continue to write about lore for Swedish cities. I am still learning. 😅 See you next time. And have a great day. 🙋
The Vagabond store! Yes! I actually thought of that when I filmed it :D
Thank you for checking it out, and taking part in my freaky history in Linköping! I hope you're doing fine and that the writer's block isn't an indication of too many worries in your life. I will have to think of some uplifting tales of various places in the future, so that your inspiration will soar! Soar like a seagull that poops on people's food. Wait, I think I got sidetracked now. Cheers and hope you have a great week! :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond I think that seagull has popped into someone's food in real life. I am sorry if you get offended for saying freak about you. I just love your acting on videos. I am sorry if you intimated for that. I am too glad to be part of your freak videos every Sunday. 😅
@@doguskoyuncu5177 The really freaky part is that I don't do any acting! I really am that freaky in real life ;) Happy to have you as a part of the videos every week, at least in the comments :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond I apologize for replying late. I am happy to hear that. Yes I am also a freak who made a mixture lore between history of Sweden and LoTR, you know.😅 I hope I will complete the whole story one day. When I returned to my kingdom. Have a great week. 🙋
@@doguskoyuncu5177 That's the best kind of lore I've heard :D Keep at it, and thank you! Hope you have an awesome week as well :D
JAS39 Rocks !
Agreed :D Now we just need to try to get it sold somewhere as well ;D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Brazil thinks about buying another batch.
@@Robert_Kawalec Fingers crossed :D
You should make a video about you. We see all your interesting videos but we never get to hear about the most interesting part of all of them. I know thats not really a Swedish thing to do but if you run out of video ideas, we are an eager audience that would love to hear your story as well.
The idea scares me a little bit actually. Not because I wouldn't want to share, but that it would indicate that I think my personal story is interesting enough. Right now I'm still struggling to get people to find my videos so maybe I'll just have to wait a little bit until I (hopefully) have a few more people who might be interested... Then I could pour out a mix of tragicomic stuff about my life :D
Well, I guess I see what you mean, I honestly don’t know how you don’t have 10 miljon subs. You’re such an amazing TH-camr, your content is always top quality and super interesting. I think its only a matter of time.
@@coreyfaulkner1115 I can only wish that the channel grows a bit more, but comments like yours really make me hopeful! Really happy to hear these uplifting words :D
How is social life in linkoping? About weather
I found the social life really good. I studied and worked there, and there was always a lot of activities. But it's still a pretty small town. And well, the weather is...a bit rainy often. And windy.
@@ThreeStarVagabond okes, that's Good
Klockrent
Tackar 😀
@@ThreeStarVagabond jag gillar hur lugn o trygg du är i det du säger
@@noapologies2571 Jag bara låtsas! Skitnervöst att prata bland folk speciellt :D
Vilken jävla engelska!
Aj spik good Inglish!
