Jönköping

Built around medieval trade routes at the southern end of Lake Vättern, Jönköping grew into the county seat and a leading regional centre in southern Sweden. Its central districts lie between Vättern and the smaller lakes Munksjön and Rocksjön, placing the city at the meeting point of lake shore and the Småland interior. Jönköping became internationally linked with Sweden’s safety-match industry, documented at the Match Museum in the former factory district of Tändsticksområdet. Today, Jönköping University and the Elmia exhibition centre add a contemporary dimension. Browse other webcams across Jönköping County to place this lakeside city in a wider geographic context.
