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.
