Discover the city of Växjö and its surroundings
Discover Växjö and its surroundings![]()
You can easily take a bus (every 10 minutes) or walk (approx. 45 minutes) from Campus to the city centre - today Växjö is one of the fastest growing cities in all Sweden with a lot to see and experience.
In the deep forests of Småland you will find Växjö, The Greenest City in Europe 2018*. The city is surrounded by lakes – which, in Swedish, is evident from the name. Environmental issues are at the top of the agenda here, but also music, sports and enterprising characterise Växjö. You can enjoy world-class sports and Michelin star food. But perhaps the proximity to nature is what makes many people choose to stay in Växjö.
On the outskirts of Växjö, you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. The canmpus is surrounded by beautiful parks, forests, meadows, and lakes. On campus, everything is nearby and it takes about 10 minutes to travel by bus to the city centre. Riding a bicycle takes about the same time. If you want to take a walk around one of the lakes this takes roughly 20 minutes. Welcome to Växjö!

Walking tips
If you are on the university’s campus, you are just a stone’s throw away from Kronoberg County’s greatest wonder, as voted by the inhabitants of Växjö, namely Teleborg Castle. If you start from the University Library, you can walk past Stallvägen and Trummenvägen directly to the castle avenue and reach the castle in just 5 minutes. Behind the castle, in the direction of Lake Trummen, you will find the beautiful and lush castle park.

If you instead choose to start from the city centre, one walking tip is the 4 km walk around Lake Växjösjön. On this walk, you get to enjoy not only the beautiful surroundings but also some 10 works of art.
