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.

I've had more picnics here than I can count. A wonderful hidden gem outside the city centre. Kids can wade in the brook, climbe the trees or just watch the grass munching cows. I, myself, enjoy reading a good novel pretending I am in the countryside.
