Linköping offers a wealth of leisure activities to people of all ages. Residents and visitors are able to enjoy art, theatre, history, concerts, markets, festivals and sporting events.

Special sights of interests are: the locks of Berg on the [[Göta Canal]], the locks of the Kinda Canal, ''Gamla'' Linköping, Valla ''skogen'' and Valla ''fritidsområde'' (Old Linköping, [[Valla Wood]], and the Valla recreational area), ''Flygvapen'' museum (the Air Force Museum), Linköping's ''domkyrka'' (the cathedral), ''Slotts- och domkyrkomuseet'' (the Castle and Cathedral Museum) and ''Östergötlands Länsmuseum'' (the Östergötland County Museum). ''Konsthallen Passagen'' is an art gallery located in the main square.

Tornby, to the north of the city centre, is a shopping area with retail outlets.

The city and its environs offer all sorts of green landscapes to see and experience. Two examples are a park named after the group responsible for it, ''Trädgårdsföreningen'' (The Garden Society), and the Tinnerö area with its oak woodland. Local bodies of water include the lakes Roxen, Rängen and Järnlunden, the River Stångån/Kinda Canal and the Göta Canal with the Berg locks. These areas can be accessed by foot, bicycle, or boat.

Linköping is the home of the Linköping Symphony Orchestra. The city is one of the sites of the ''Östergötland Music Days'' each summer, and the host of the ''Student Orchestra Festival'' in May every other year. One of the most notable choirs in Linköping is the [[Linköping University Male Voice Choir]].

Linköping is also the home of theatrical heavy metal band [[Ghost (Swedish band)|Ghost]] and rock band the Pusjkins ([[:sv:The Pusjkins|sv]]).

The area around the main square was re-planned in the 1960s, and many old houses were destroyed. Some, however, were moved to ''[[Gamla Linköping]]'' (Old Linköping), in the city's western part, neighbouring the university's main campus. It is a living museum environment and a popular site with both residents and tourists.

[[NärCon]], the largest anime and gaming convention in the [[Nordic countries]], is held in Linköping.
