🔊 Listen to this Post Vimmerby is a city and the seat of Vimmerby Municipality in Kalmar County with 8,000 inhabitants. Stångån is a small river running through the city. Vimmerby had its charter as early as the fourteenth century. The main street, Storgatan, still has the shape in which it was built in the medieval time. There are also many old wooden houses in the city.

Vimmerby is currently a tourist attraction due to historical links with Swedish author Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002). The Astrid Lindgren’s World is a theme park for children that has themes from her books, and is visited by fans from around the world.

When Astrid Lindgren wrote her books about the country boy Emil of Lönneberga she used much information from her own upbringing in the rural areas of Vimmerby.
