Nyköping is a town by the coast one hour south of Stockholm. Our house is 200 meters from the water, but you can not swim there. You can take a nice stroll along the waterfront to the harbour, where there are many restaurants and cafés during the summer. You walk to the center of town in 20 minutes. We have a medieval castle in Nyköping, with a museum and theatre shows in the summer.

Nyköping is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the capital but not in the the middle of the hustle and bustle. Nyköping has it's own airport, Skavsta, which makes it convenient if you prefer to fly. You can also get here easily by bus or train, and the train to Stockholm takes 60 minutes.

If you have children, the famous zoo Kolmården is 40 minutes away. Older kids will love Boda Borg, a questing experience where the whole family tries to solve problems together. Boda Borg is 20 minutes away. Trosa, the picturesque small town where the German show Inga Lidström was filmed, is 35 minutes away by car.

Nyköping is by the water, and if you come here you should definitely explore the archipelago. There are tour boats from Oxelösund that can take you to the islands, but many beautiful cliffs and beaches can also be reached by car. You can rent canoes close to our house. If you like hiking, the trail "Sörmlandsleden" of 1000 km passes through here.
