Welcome to Norrköping – the historic industrial city by the Motala River where past and present meet. Old factories blend with modern architecture, art and culture. A city full of character and charm – perfect for a weekend, family trip or cultural getaway.

Historic charm and city vibes

Norrköping proudly carries its industrial heritage. Along the Motala River, you’ll find the Museum of Work in the iconic Strykjärnet building – a narrow, triangular structure named for its resemblance to an old flat iron. Here, among red-brick factories and rippling water, history meets creativity as old mills are transformed into restaurants, art spaces and design studios. It’s a place where industrial strength meets modern energy.
