Sofiero is a great place to visit for the formal gardens, especially in the spring for the rhododendrons and in the autumn for the ljusstämning (where the grounds are open at night with all the paths lit by candles.)

5. Landskrona Citadell
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
The Citadel is one of the best-preserved 16th century fortresses in the Nordic countries, built by King Christian III of Denmark between 1549 and 1559. In the 1800s the Citadel was used as a prison for convicts with life sentences and for vagrants. Then it was converted to a women's prison that was in use until 1940. There is a cafe in the grounds and you can fish in the moat. There's no admission for the area around the fortress but if you'd like to go inside the Citadel, you'd need to go on a guidad tour. It costs 75 SEK for adult and 40 SEK for children (7-15)

And old castle in the middle of the city. They have restored it to almost original and you have a feelling of how it would be at the time of history when this was a Danish fort and they fought for this region with the Swedes. Old prison tower from the 20th Century. Guide tours.
