Jönköping city was founded as early as the 13th century on the southern shore of Lake Vättern, surrounded by hilly slopes. 30 kilometres north, in Lake Vättern, lies the fascinating island of Visingsö, which can only be reached by boat. Visit this historic island and explore ruins, take a horse and carriage ride from Remmalagsplattan, and experience the island the old-fashioned way.
