Restaurants in Ystad
1. Sankta Maria Kyrka
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 93 reviews
A very living tradition. Every night all year round, a long, muffled signal sounds over the center of Ystad. One pitch for each quarter in each direction. It is the Tornväktaren in the tower of St. Mary's Church who proclaimed that everything is calm in the city according to a several hundred year old tradition. Today, Tornväktaren is the city's symbol and still watches over the city.

I just happened to read about Ales Stenar a few days before departing on a trip from Vestfold, Norway to Poland via ferry from Ystad, Sweden. Ales Stenar is about 15 kms east of Ystad, close to a cozy little fishing village called Löderup. It is a brisk uphill walk from Löderup to the top of a large open meadow where the stones are situated. When you reach a certain point, you see the outline of the stones against the sky. Very majestic. The vast meadow reaches southwards to high cliffs that tumble down to the Baltic Sea. Several folks showed up shortly before sundown to get the ultimate Ales Stenar experience. It is a powerful place and a must see if you are in the area.

Kemnerska garden is an old half-timbered house in the centre of Ystad. According to hersay the swedish king Karl XII lived in the house for a short period of time, which has later turned out to be true. The king has however played a big part in the survival of the old house. It is definitely one of the houses that displays the old Ystad the best.

10. Ystads Marina/smabatshamnen
Located directly west of the trading port, 200 meters from the center. Here is a large green area, called Anna Lind's place, with barbecues and seating along the marina on the piers. Restaurants and fish smokehouse. Here, on a statue, two gilded seagulls in bronze hover above a slender granite plinth.
