Summer is here and we are all so excited!
During summer, going out and exploring new places with friends is a great way to connect to the city and have a good time. Knowing good places in the city is a great way to get you started on that pre-summer checklist.
For this very reason, EDIT wants to help you find the very best places to see.
Munksjön
Munksjön is one of the lakes in Jönköping, and there are so many beautiful places around it where you and your friends can go and relax. The hike around the lake includes nice places for barbecuing and sitting around, and there are also beautiful benches overlooking the lake where you can take a breather and truly feel at peace. The landscape and river will give you time to reconnect with yourself. Besides the beauty, there are unlimited picture-perfect places where you can take beautiful pictures.
Rocksjön hike trail
Like the first option, Rocksjön is another of Jönköping’s beauties. The long trail around the lake is a hidden gem for many of us; that is precisely why the trail around the lake is one of our biggest must-go recommendations. The trail around the lake is different from the one around Munksjön, in the way that is not only longer, but also takes one to different parts of the city that may have been undiscovered by the hikers. The path leads through parks, woods, newly built areas, and much more. It is a true exercise as well as an experience. The trail is truly beautiful, with many places where one can stop for a picnic, to visit the outside gym or just to sit down.
La Vue
When it comes to food and restaurants, sitting outside while the air is warm and the sun is setting can be idyllic. La Vue is one of the restaurants right next to Munksjön in the center of Jönköping. Sitting down with friends, family or a special someone while eating or having a drink is something we will come to appreciate later on. After all, who doesnt love getting a little dressed up and going out?
The beach
The beach is somewhere many go during the summer and late spring, however visiting the beach in the evening or late night is something everyone should do. Here in Sweden during the summers, the sun sets late and rises very early. For this very reason, going to the beach with friends during these times to experience both is an amazing experience we recommend all of you try. While at the beach, you can go swimming, sit and relax, eat, and much more. Listen to the waves come to shore and appreciate those summer nights we have all been yearning for.
Campus (of course)
Besides visiting campus for classes and assignments, visiting the campus in the later hours while the sky is pink and the air smells like flowers can be very relaxing. When the campus is empty and no one else is around we learn to appreciate and grasp how truly beautiful the campus really is. Listen to music, talk to a friend or simply listen to the sound of the birds and cars and let your thoughts stop while you take it all in.
