Take a trip to Nykoping and discover fascinating museums, numerous golf courses and ideal spots for swimming and fishing.

Nykoping is a town and municipality in Sodermanland, located a mere 100 km south west of Stockholm. Nykoping River runs through Nykoping, which adds a slice of stunning nature to this charming town. The ideal location next to Skavsta Airport and numerous other smaller cities makes it easy and convenient to spend a weekend in Nykoping with all its attractions and activities.

Be sure to visit one of the many interesting museums in the area. Nykoping is home to Sweden's only magicians' museum, Sveriges Magi-Arkiv, where visitors can admire props from magic acts from as early as the 19th century. The museum is located in the cultural centre Slottsvakten, where motor sports enthusiasts will also find the Speedway Museum and the F11 Museum, an air reconnaissance museum with a focus on historic military aircraft.

History aficionados may have heard of the Nykoping Banquet, the famous plot carried out by King Birger Magnusson in 1317 to imprison his brothers Valdemar och Erik, who were subsequently starved to death. The scene of this act of betrayal was Nykoping Castle, and Sormland Museum organise regular tours of the castle, recounting its Medieval past and making history come to life with anecdotes about the royals that have resided here.

If you enjoy fishing, try your luck at Nykoping River, where you can catch pike, perch, salmon and trout. Set in the beautiful archipelago a mere 30 km east of Nykoping, the nature reserve Stendorren is a treat for all senses: enjoy the astounding nature, go swimming and do a proper fishing tour out at sea. If you want to go for a refreshing swim without making the long trek, head down to either Strandstuviken or Nasudden both beaches are located approximately 10 km from the city centre.

If you love golf, Nykoping will have plenty in store for you. There are several gold courses in the area, the most notable among them Nykoping Golf Club, Jonaker Golf Club and Kiladalen Golf Club. If you prefer miniature golf, head on down to MGK 49 during the summer months, located not far from Nykoping Harbour.

You have direct flights to Nykoping via Skavsta Airport, located 7 km from the city centre. The airport also serves as a hub for travellers headed to Stockholm, with regular shuttles to the capital (journey time is roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes). Trains will arrive at Nykoping Central Station. From there it's easy to get around with local and regional busses. If you're driving to Nykoping, the E4 motorway goes through the town.
