Trips around Astrid Lindgren

In the Vimmerby area there isn’t a single person who doesn't know her: Astrid Lindgren. This is why her hometown has an entertainment park that completely revolves around her stories. In Astrid Lindgren Värld, the legendary stories are played out by actors. Although the performances are in Swedish, they’re easy to follow when you’re familiar with the stories. In addition to the shows, there are all kinds of shops and cafés in the park where you can immerse yourself in the world of Astrid Lindgren.

Eeeeeeeemiiiiiiiil! Do you remember the stories and films of Emil from Lönneberga? Then Katthult is the place to be. Here you will experience what it is like to be on the TV-set of this well-known series as the recordings were made here. The café and surrounding buildings are open all summer long and there are all kinds of activities for children. 

The three farms of Bullerbyn lie unsuspectingly next to each other, but anyone who has read The Children of the Noisy Village knows that this appearance is deceiving. The young residents of the houses encounter all kinds of adventures and visitors can experience the same thing. Visit the petting zoo, discover the playground or enjoy a Swedish fika on the terrace.

For those who want to know more about Astrid Lindgren and her life as a writer, we highly recommend Astrid Lindgren Näs. This typical Swedish farm is the place where Astrid spent her childhood. In the house you will read and learn about Astrid and her life as a writer, while the beautiful garden awaits you outside. The farm grounds give a glimpse of Swedish society more than a century ago.
