The town is famous for its wooden house architecture. The medieval buildings of the old town and the many wooden houses are almost all under monument protection.
As well as its varied cultural landscape, Eksjö is also a town of museums. In the “Eksjö Museum” for example, there is a permanent exhibition of civic history, displaying the development of the town over the centuries.
The natural landscape surrounding Eksjö is extremely impressive, mostly forests and traditional farming communities. The Skurugata Canyon is also a highlight to be seen.
Not far from Eksjö is Vimmerby, the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren. Here a leisure park reminds us of all the characters in her novels. A “movie village”, also dedicated to the works of Astrid Lindgren opened in 2017.
