Descrizione:

Virtual walk in Swedish town Nyköping, showcasing crisp autumn colors, locals strolling along the river that runs through the city. The walk highlights the town’s historic layout, split by the Nyköpingsån river, and its coastal setting on the Baltic Sea. Nyköping, meaning "Newmarket," has a rich history: it was the site of the 1317 Nyköping Banquet, became the seat of Duke Charles in the 16th century, and suffered significant fires and invasions in the 17th and 18th centuries, after which it was rebuilt. The town industrialized early, with textile and dairy industries growing in the 19th century, and remains notable for its historic fortress and waterfront.
