Do & See
Astrid Lindgrens Vimmerby is perhaps "Sweden's most playful destination", and for good reasons too. One of the many places you'll find here is Astrid Lindgren's World, where Astrid Lindgren's characters come to life. Just outside of Vimmerby, you'll also find the real Katthult as well as Bullerby where the films were made. Why not make a visit to her childhood home situated just a short walk from the town centre? There is, of course, a whole lot more to discover, for both young and old. We have listed some of our most popular attractions. On our website you can find a complete list of all our attractions.
