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.

Little Square

Reviewed By danielaI6579BU - Baltimore, United States

Charming area that’s paved with natural stones with a nice variety of restaurants and shops. A couple of the restaurants are busy year round (especially in summer) as they have ample outdoor seating.. Nicely decorated with plenty of lights during the holiday season. (Don’t miss the oversized lamp) About 10 minutes walk from Malmo C & easy to find & close to the Stortorget. Great for a drink or meal in the square.

St. Petri (St. Peter's Church)

Reviewed By Thefunkygibbons - Hartley Wintney, United Kingdom

The Church looks very nice from the outside. Inside, it is quite plain, despite its 700 year history, although the side altar at the back has some faded murals, which are more often seen in Italian churches. The main altar is very dramatic and it is possible to walk all the way behind it. Around the church in various paces is plenty of evidence of regular worship and an active role in its local and wider community.

We spent our last morning in Malmo walking along the canals and over the foot bridges in this beautiful park. The park cafe by the windmill is delightful. I had a delicious home made pannecotta with a Lillia Rosteriet coffee and my partner enjoyed a freshly made cinnamon bun with coffee. We sat out at a picnic table amid colourful flowers. A must see on a sunny day.

From here you have an excellent view. You can also walk down to the small light house at the tip of the rocks and enjoy some trails nearby. There are also some caves you can get to by foot.
