Norrköping, Industrial port city in Östergötland, Sweden

Situated along the Motala River, Norrköping stretches across both banks with numerous bridges connecting its districts and industrial buildings near the waterfalls.

The settlement received its city charter in 1384, developing from a small trading post into a major industrial center due to water power from the Motala River.

The transformed industrial landscape contains preserved factories, now housing museums, art galleries, and educational facilities that tell the story of textile manufacturing.

The deep harbor accommodates vessels with a draft up to 9 meters, while the central station provides direct rail connections to Stockholm and Gothenburg.

Over 7,000 Bronze Age rock carvings exist within the city limits, representing one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric art in Northern Europe.
