Travelled over to Malmo from Copenhagen for a long weekend in December, went by train, great views and wonderful experience, have always wanted to do this journey, really comfortable way to travel between countries & very fast and efficient and on time. Journey back was a disappointment as sky was black, and middle of a storm but fun all the same.

Honestly, I expected to be somewhat underwhelmed--not knowing much about Swedish culture or history, an "open-air museum" conjured up images of people in historical garb demonstrating weaving in front of shacks. What it really is is a trip to time and various regions of Sweden, with houses and even entire churches transported to the site, some two city blocks packed with buildings to explore self-guided. The architecture is very interesting and there are explanatory signs in Swedish and English. I went expecting to stay only an hour or so--I stayed an entire afternoon. Highly recommended.

Sofiero Palace

Sofiero Palace was, until the 1970s, a summer residence for Swedish royalty. The magnificent heritage of thousands of rhododendrons, beds, borders and kitchen gardens is carefully tended by a team of dedicated experts. In 2010, Sofiero was voted Europe’s Best Park.Sofiero is situated just north of the town of Helsingborg in southern Sweden. Interesting exhibitions in the palace and a variety of exciting events and activities in the beautiful park and gardens are some of the things you can look forward to when planning your visit. The season, during which the palace, shops, restaurant and café are open for visitors, starts March 31 and ends in September. However, you are welcome to visit Sofiero for a guided tour, a walk in the park and a chance to enjoy the view over the strait of Öresund to Denmark at any time of the year.

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.)

A beautiful place for a relaxing walk or a picnic. Interesting reconstuctions of historic farmhouse and old village environments and a lovely collection of roses if you come at the right time of the year. In the summer they also have an outdoor theatre that plays a new comedy every year. Traditional Midsummer Celebration with music and dance around the Maypole.

This is a beautifully built cathedral. It is worth a visit with a day trip from Malmo. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful and you can visit the basement of the church as well. A must visit when in Lund.

The botanical garden in Lund is an oasis 5 minutes walk from downtown. Lots of trees, perennials and annuals. Beautiful outdoor cafe in the summer next to a pond with ducks. And, an ever growing series of greenhouses with tropical climate, perfect for cold or rainy days. A great place as well to take an elderly relative as well as children. Free entrance.

Little Square

Reviewed By danielaI6579BU - Baltimore, United States

Charming area that’s paved with natural stones with a nice variety of restaurants and shops. A couple of the restaurants are busy year round (especially in summer) as they have ample outdoor seating.. Nicely decorated with plenty of lights during the holiday season. (Don’t miss the oversized lamp) About 10 minutes walk from Malmo C & easy to find & close to the Stortorget. Great for a drink or meal in the square.

St. Petri (St. Peter's Church)

Reviewed By Thefunkygibbons - Hartley Wintney, United Kingdom

The Church looks very nice from the outside. Inside, it is quite plain, despite its 700 year history, although the side altar at the back has some faded murals, which are more often seen in Italian churches. The main altar is very dramatic and it is possible to walk all the way behind it. Around the church in various paces is plenty of evidence of regular worship and an active role in its local and wider community.

Beautiful national park about 45 minutes from Lund. Gorgeous wooded trails that lead up to one of the most stunning viewpoints in Skane. There is quite a lot of parking, with a visitors center with maps of the trails in a few languages. Picnic benches at the top to enjoy the serene setting. If you have mobility issues you can drive to the top to enjoy the view Absolutely worth a trip
