Linköping is located in southern Sweden.

The city has been working on winter light arrangements since 2004 and was one of the first cities in Sweden to arrange such illuminations. Over the years, several new walkways and light installations have been created in different parts of the city.

The success of the winter lights – which encouraged Linköping residents to discover new parts of their city and which also contributed to an increase in the feeling of safety in certain areas – has resulted in more public investment on light in the urban space.
