The old part consists of a large number of wooden two stories houses from the 19C in good shape. They have not been ravaged by fire (as opposed to the part on the other side of the church). It is delightful to explore the area not least because of local business such as the café-bakeries (konditori in Swedish) which are well supplied.
Another reason for our visit here is that my great grandfather lived in one of the houses.

You find a lot of old log buildings from the 16-hundreds and other more recent wooden buildings where there are restaurants, hotels and shops today

They name themselves as unique wood city and definately this is such. Nice, tiny and plenty of shops located in the center of Eksjö.

The old town is very small yet very impressive in their conservation. A brochure with the explanation of many buildings helped out a lot. Further ample opportunity for shopping.

Fine old wooden houses. Went back to this city where I worked at the hospital some 30 years ago. I even sold tickets in the little old Cinema in the evenings. So I knew this pitoresque old place - it is absolutely worth a visit

A very beautiful place with small and narrow cobble stone streets and hidden allies. A nice view is around every corner and almost every angle makes a nice photography. Alot of history can be felt walking these streets and the amazing "old wooden town" is particularly worth visiting. The only downside is the lack of restaurants serving traditional swedish food and too many serving Asian buffés.

We were looking for somewhere to have a cup of coffee and a snack on our way from Karlskrona to Falköping, when we managed to find this beautiful town of pastel coloured wooden houses and cobbled streets. This is a must! We managed to come at the time of the weekly summerparade with a marching band and dragoons! Utterly charming! Also the events calendar showed that there is a string of interesting events taking place throughout the summer. We had coffee and freshly made waffles in Krusagarden, in a courtyard with an oak tree and the best waffles ever. All around us the buildings contained a second-hand shop. The tourist information was also well worth a visit.
