Nyköping

The Nyköping River winds its way through the city and out into Stadsfjärden. Here you can stroll on your own along cultural and sculptural paths and stop at historical sites. Outside the city there are hiking and biking trails, mountains to climb and kayaks to rent. 

Discover eagles and seals in Nyköping's beautiful archipelago, experience a mining museum or a castle, bargain at auction or cycle along Näckrosleden with a well-stocked picnic basket on the handlebars. The municipality of Nyköping wants to give more people the opportunity to cycle instead of taking the car. Therefore, the municipality works to offer safe, secure and accessible cycle paths in and between urban areas. In Nyköping's urban area, there are about 120 kilometers of cycle paths and even more are coming.
