Air Force Museum
On the western outskirts of Linköping can be found the Air Force Museum, with a collection of Swedish military aircraft and air force equipment.
This museum houses an excellent collection of aircraft types not seen outside Sweden. They are displayed inside and outside of the museum. There are attractive dioramas of aviation activities and good photographic opportunities.
Since the museum is on an active air force base it may be possible to see aircraft in flight. The first powered flight in Sweden occured here in 1911.

Gamla Linköping - Open-Air Museum
To the west of the town, the Gamla Linköping open-air museum consists of an assemblage of 18th and 19th century buildings, mostly wooden, which were transferred here from the town center during slum clearance and redevelopment operations. A number of historic old buildings from the province of Östergötland were also re-erected here. Here too is the Valla recreation area.
