Jonkoping, Sweden

[NutmegCarrera]

Hello, Pelicans.
Looks like I have a crack at spending a day in Jonkoping.
Does anyone have a (short) list of must see / must do activities?
Planning on arriving to GOT around 10am next week sunday and then driving to the town. Have until mid-afternoon the following monday before meetings start.


Thanks.

Maybe Markus will check in, if I ever go to Scandahoovia, will definitely be buying him a beer.

Visit IKEA?

Don't hold your breath for recommendations.

I was hoping for more...
I can drive to IKEA from my home.

Chainsaw museum up the road in Huskvarna? (if there is such a thing)

There's a rumor Dr. Fluffer might be headlining the big "Blues and Lutefisk Festival" in Gotenborg.....

Find a nice outdoor cafe, sit down with your coffee or drink, and enjoy the passing scene. There are no HOOTERS Restaurants in Sweden and there is a reason for that!

So we're flying in through Goteborg. Arriving on Sunday, I expected that everything would be closed (as it typically is in various regions). I'm happy to see that there are a few things that are open. The art museum apparently has a current Warhol exhibit - should be interesting, as well as a Munch exhibit. Will have to see if my traveling partners are interested in that - vs. just following our nose.

Will post pics if anything worthwhile comes up.
