Dunkers Culture House

Find a mini holiday to Sweden at Risskov and surround yourself in a world of culture and modern art at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg. There is 3,000 square metres of exhibition space with new and exciting exhibitions all the time. The building was designed by Jim Utzon and the idea was that it would look like a medieval castle. The surrounding buildings form a ring wall containing offices and other administrative functions. Visit the exciting cultural centre with Risskov and also find child-friendly hotels for the trip so the whole family can enjoy the trip.

Sofiero Castle

In 1866, under Crown Prince Oscar and his wife Sophia, the summer palace Sophie-ro was built. It is located directly by the sea just a few kilometres north of Helsingborg. Sofiero is perhaps best known for its collection of rhododendrons, and this is primarily what more than 100,000 visitors come to experience each year.

Wallåkra Stoneware Factory

Wallåkra Stentøjsfabrik has been making classic pots and pans the traditional way for 150 years. Here you can get an insight into and follow the production from clay handling to the finished product. Come on a guided tour around the factory and try and turn clay yourself! Don't forget to bring home your own self-made clay pot. You can also take the opportunity to dine in the tavern which is housed in the warehouse.

Mölle

In summer, the beaches of the Swedish west coast offer great conditions for water and beach activities. Visit famous Mölle, a traditional seaside resort where tourism peaked in the early 1900s.

Kullaberg nature reserve

Why not go on a summer holiday to Sweden, with child-friendly hotels and set your own schedule. Risskov can offer cheap travel and mini holidays in Sweden with child-friendly hotels. Drive to Kullaberg which is south of Skälderviken, just north of Helsingborg. From here you can enjoy the beautiful views of the Øresund and Kattegat. The area is very different from the other nature in Skåne. If you want to know more about the fauna and flora, we recommend a visit to Naturum Kullaberg at Kullen lighthouse. Walking along the Kullaleden is also recommended, where there is a 70 km long hiking trail. This area has also been used for filming. Go on an active holiday to Skåne and enjoy nature and the picturesque sea. Find your next summer holiday at Risskov.

Woodlands Golf & Country club

The resort offers tailor-made packages to suit most golfers' levels and wishes. Golf lessons are given to beginners and experienced players who want to learn more. At Woodland there is both an 18-hole and 9-hole course.

Malmo

Go on a self-drive holiday and visit Malmö, the largest city in Skåne and the third largest in Sweden. Malmö has always been a trading city and still is, so it also offers great shopping opportunities. The city centre is well visited and offers a wide range of cultural opportunities. There is a strong cultural life in Malmö, including the Malmö Festival, which is held in August and usually attracts a good number of visitors. The 'Old Town' is close to Malmö Castle and is characterised by charming houses and winding streets, mixed with cafés, design shops and galleries. The Old Town is also home to Stortorget, surrounded by buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries. Here you'll also find the equestrian statue of King Charles X, who helped secure the return of Sweden to Scania in 1658. Southwest of Stortorget is ´Lilla Torg´, surrounded by half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries and definitely worth a visit.

Form/Design Center is located in an old magazine building and exhibits design and crafts complemented by a shop with a wide range of books on Scandinavian design.

At Stortorget, just south of the Central Station, Malmö's pedestrian street and alleyway start, filled with shops. There are also several department stores along the pedestrian street, along with a number of craft shops.

In the newer district of Hyllie, located in the south of Malmo, is probably Scandinavia's largest shopping centre, known as Emporia, so try your luck, there are usually good deals. Malmö is a lovely city and an ideal destination for a cheap mini break, weekend break or longer summer holiday in your own car.
