Among the oldest cities in Sweden, Lund was founded in the late 10th century. The stalwart Lund Cathedral is almost as old as the settlement itself; it was built in traditional Romanesque style and contains a beautiful astronomical clock, five organs and an ancient crypt. Explore charming Jakriborg, a modern residential area that emulates a medieval town, then head to the beautiful Botanical Gardens.

Every time, when I travel to Lund I visit this mighty church founded in 1080. I also took a look at crypt, which is identified by its numerous and densely built pillars. The pillars are very different in style and were built by the architect Donatus. The most famous pillar is the one with the statue of a man embracing it. Local legend tells that the figure is Finn the Giant, builder of the Cathedral.

The Lund Botanical Gardens are best visited during the lush spring-to-summer time, where they are at their very best, with an explosion of colours, all the plants around you emanating their fragrances, and the relaxed crowd of visitors that makes for great people-watching. Find a bench and enjoy.

The food is really good, but one guest sneezed on the food and went around the buffet and touched every cutlery available, and no waiter cared about that - resulting in me and my kids and husband ended up with the same flu the guest had.

The park is beautiful and an oasis to stroll around and have picknicks. Just avoid to go there April 30 when more than 20000 youngsters are celebrating that spring has arrived. Unfortunately more or less drunk all of them. But all others days it s a fantastic place

The Historical Museum at Lund is not huge, but it manages to span the ages through its thematic halls. The exhibit are well displayed and the descriptions are good.
In addition to the permanent exhibits, the Museum offers also very interesting temporary Exhibitions.
