The city is situated south of lake Roxen (which is part of the historically important water paths Motala str�m and the G�ta Canal) where the E4, Sweden's highway backbone, crosses the river St�ng�n (and Kinda kanal). Further contributing to Link�ping's excellent communications is its situation on the main southern railway line connecting Stockholm (< 2 hours away) with Malm� and Danish capital Copenhagen (3 and a half hours away). There is also an international airport, Link�ping City Airport with daily connections to Amsterdam (1h 50min) and Copenhagen
