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 in 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 underway.

In Nyköping's western harbor is the new Sörmland Museum, which offers various exhibitions, events, courses, meetings, open collections and much more. With us, the green is in focus. Herbal and green dishes are the basis of our cooking, often with the animal kingdom as a seasoning. We primarily use organic and sustainable raw materials from the local area. With us, the entire raw material is utilized and prepared in a variety of ways. We let the season control the menu and take care of what the earth provides. This way we can vary the menu often.
