Here you will encounter the Sm\u00e5land nature, with many forests, lakes, meadows, winding gravel roads and traditional red cottages and barns, just like in an Astrid Lindgren story. That\u2019s because it was here, in Vimmerby, that Astrid Lindgren was born in 1907. Just a few minutes\u2019 walk from Vimmerby square, on N\u00e4s farm, you will find Astrid Lindgren\u2019s childhood home. In addition to a guided tour of her childhood home, there are exhibitions you can visit in the Rectory, gardens and the Pavilion. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full gap-3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vimmerby.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo the Tourist Office\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full px-4 py-7\">\n\t<div data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"flex flex-col w-full gap-5 m-auto text-center inner-contain\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-large text-red\">Much of Vimmerby\u2019s history can be experienced in the alleys and cobbled streets of the old town centre around the square, Storgatan and B\u00e5tsmansbacken. The site has been a marketplace since 1604 when Vimmerby regained its town charter from Charles IX. The neighbourhood has since developed into its own vibrant town full of trade, culture and entertainment, which inspired Astrid Lindgren as she wrote many of her stories.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative flex flex-col items-center  w-full h-screen max-h-[960px] mobile:mb-[200px] desktop:max-h-[780px] min-h-[700px] mobile:min-h-[500px] justify-start mobile:max-h-none mobile:h-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"top-0 object-cover w-full h-[60vh] max-h-[800px] min-h-[700px]  mobile:min-h-[540px]\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensvarld.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nas-header.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-0 mobile:bottom-[-200px] z-10 flex flex-col items-center w-full inner-contain gap-7 desktop-sm:px-4 mobile:px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bg-whiteish px-[80px] py-6 mobile:p-2 flex flex-col items-center gap-4 mobile:gap-4 text-black text-center rounded-lg lg-shadow w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-start gap-1\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"text-brightRed -hero\">Astrid Lindgren\u2019s N\u00e4s<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-large text-darkRed mobile:!text-[16px]\">Astrid Lindgren\u2019s N\u00e4s is a visitor destination in Vimmerby \u2013 in the heart of the surroundings in which Astrid Lindgren grew up. Astrid Anna Emilia was born on 14 November 1907 on the farm N\u00e4s. Astrid was the second of four siblings. She and her siblings, together with the cowman\u2019s children and the children from the rectory next door, were the real-life children of Noisy Village. The story of their games has now spread around the world. It was here that she climbed the lemonade tree and played \u2018got you\u2019 and \u2018don\u2019t touch the floor\u2019 with her siblings. This is where she jumped in the hay and listened to stories in Kristin\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full gap-3\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo Astrid Lindgren\u2019s N\u00e4s\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"flex items-start justify-center w-full desktop-sm:pb-0 py-7\">\n\t<div class=\"relative flex justify-end w-full m-auto inner-contain\">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative flex items-center justify-end w-full rounded-lg desktop-sm:flex-col-reverse desktop-sm:w-full\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"px-5 py-7 z-20 bg-whiteish max-w-[40rem] min-w-[30rem] mobile:min-w-0 mobile:px-4 mobile:py-5 rounded-lg flex flex-col gap-3 absolute lg-shadow desktop-sm:relative items-center justify-center text-center left-[-10%] desktop-sm:bottom-[128px] desktop-sm:mx-4 desktop-sm:left-auto desktop-sm:right-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\" text-darkRed\">Make a visit to Noisy Village<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-blackish\">If you are in Vimmerby, a visit to Sevedstorp is a must.

Astrid\u2019s father Samuel August grew up on \u2018Middle Farm\u2019 and for a time owned some of the farms in Sevedstorp. In her books, she describes her own childhood in the 1920s. When it came time to remaking the films in 1986, there was no better location than Sevedstorp, the \u2018real\u2019 Noisy Village.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"text-brightRed group\" href=\"https:\/\/www.astridsbullerbyn.se\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center gap-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-pippi-poster\">To Noisy Village<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hover-animation mobile:max-w-[2rem]\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensvarld.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alv-arrow.svg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"object-cover rounded-lg h-[40rem] w-full tablet:h-[40rem] mobile:h-[23rem] tablet:max-w-none tablet-lg:rounded-none\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensvarld.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bullerbynreal-1280x640-1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative flex flex-col items-center  w-full h-screen max-h-[960px] mobile:mb-[200px] desktop:max-h-[780px] min-h-[700px] mobile:min-h-[500px] justify-start mobile:max-h-none mobile:h-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"top-0 object-cover w-full h-[60vh] max-h-[800px] min-h-[700px]  mobile:min-h-[540px]\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensvarld.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/filmbyn-1280x640-1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-0 mobile:bottom-[-200px] z-10 flex flex-col items-center w-full inner-contain gap-7 desktop-sm:px-4 mobile:px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bg-whiteish px-[80px] py-6 mobile:p-2 flex flex-col items-center gap-4 mobile:gap-4 text-black text-center rounded-lg lg-shadow w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-start gap-1\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"text-brightRed -hero\">Sm\u00e5land Film Village<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"-large text-darkRed mobile:!text-[16px]\">In the Film Village, you can experience the environments from classic children\u2019s films such as Emil in L\u00f6nneberga, Seacrow Island and Pippi Longstocking.
