Link�ping offers a wealth of leisure activities to people of all ages. Residents and visitors are able to enjoy art, theatre, history, concerts, markets, festivals and sporting events.
Special sights of interests are: the locks of Berg on the G�ta Canal, the locks of the Kinda Canal, Gamla Link�ping, Vallaskogen and Valla fritidsomr�de (Old Link�ping, Valla Wood, and the Valla recreational area), Flygvapen museum (the Air Force Museum), Link�ping's domkyrka (the Cathedral), Slotts- och domkyrkomuseet (the Castle and Cathedral Museum) and �sterg�tlands L�ns museum (the �sterg�tland County Museum). Konsthallen Passagen is an art gallery located in the main square.
Tornby, to the north of the city centre, is a vast shopping area with huge retail outlets and immense parking lots.
The city and its environs offer all sorts of green landscapes to see and experience. Two examples are a park named after the group responsible for it, Tr�dg�rdsf�reningen (The Garden Society), and the Tinner� area with its oak woodland. Local bodies of water include the lakes Roxen, R�ngen and J�rnlunden, the River St�ng�n/Kinda Canal and the G�ta Canal with the Berg locks. These areas can be accessed by foot, bicycle, or boat.
Link�ping is the home of the Link�ping Symphony Orchestra. The city is one of the sites of the �sterg�tland Music Days each summer, and the host of the Student Orchestra Festival in May every other year. One of the most notable choirs in Link�ping is the Link�ping University Male Voice Choir.
The area around the main square was re-planned in the 1960s and many old houses were destroyed. Some, however, were moved to Gamla Link�ping (Old Link�ping), in the city's western part, neighbouring the university's main campus. It is a living museum environment and a popular site with both residents and tourists
