It's still a small town even if you include the outlying area.

Not by swedish standards. It is the 7th biggest city in Sweden.

Huh? It is the 4th largest city.

Don't be petty. You're both right really. After Stockholm, Malmö, and Göteborg, there's a [censored] load of cities in Sweden which are basically the same size with Linköping being just one of them.

Sweden has ONE big city (Stockholm) and lot of small towns where Gothenburg (500 K) and Malmo (250 K) are the biggest. The population in Stockholm are approx. 2 M including the suburbs. There are a lot of small towns that are around 100 K though (Uppsala, Norrkoping, Linkoping for example).

I am an expert on Sweden, having been in Stockholm and Gothenburg for a total of 7 days.

Gothenburg was hands down the coolest city I have ever been to, and I am from NYC.
