Trelleborg

Trelleborg is Sweden's southernmost city and has around 30,000 inhabitants. The town is named after the Viking fortress, Trelleborg. Trelleborg's medieval town plan is largely untouched, but much of the older buildings have been lost. Trelleborg's oldest parts are located around the old square.

In the early 19th century, the town's shipping industry developed, and in 1897 regular ferry services opened between Trelleborg and Sassnitz with mail and passenger traffic, making the town an important port. In the town there is a shipping museum for those who want to learn more about the history of the port town.

The town also has a swimming pool and a bowling alley for the whole family to enjoy.

The Maritime Museum in Trelleborg

Sweden's southernmost maritime museum tells the story of cargo within Trelleborg's large municipality, past and present. Trelleborg became an important port in the early 19th century, and the museum takes you on a journey through time.

The museum has various departments for fishing, small boat engines, nautical instruments, stewardships, shipping companies, freight forwarding and ferry services. The museum also has a number of ship models of the "Trelleborg ship".

Emporia Shopping Centre

Shopping is an obvious activity when you go on a mini break or weekend break in Malmö. The shopping enthusiast should take a trip to Emporia Shopping Centre in the Malmö suburb of Hyllie. In the 93,000 sqm shopping centre you will find over 200 shops spread over 3 floors. There are also various restaurants where you can take a break and have a nice lunch or a cup of coffee. In the international atmosphere you will find almost everything you need.

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.

Turning Torso

Turning Torso, which is English for "turning or swinging body", is Sweden's and the Nordic countries' tallest skyscraper. The Turning Torso is located on Lilla Varvsgatan in Västra Hamnen, Malmö and was inaugurated in August 2005. The building was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava and is 190.4 m high. The building is a residential structure and due to its height has become a well-known landmark in the region and can be seen from far away.

Smygehuk

Smygehuk is a harbour and fishing village on the south coast of Skåne, but is best known for being Sweden's southernmost point. Because of this, it is a popular tourist destination with over 200,000 visitors each summer. There is also an ice cream kiosk, a café, a smokehouse and a boathouse. At the harbour there is a sign with distances to some European capitals and to Treriks Rouset (Sweden's northernmost point). Weather permitting, the area is also perfect for a picnic in the sun.

Högevall

If you are on a family holiday with children, we recommend a visit to Högevall. This is one of Skåne's largest and most modern bathhouses. In the adventure pool you will get a wonderful tickle in the 213-metre-long water slide and in the wild bathing river. If you want something more relaxing, you can relax in the pool and the whirlpool.
