The tourist agency Visit Sweden has summarised all the common car travel options online – including lesser-known routes, such as the ferry from winouj cie in Poland to Ystad.This is possible by flying to Copenhagen-Kastrup airport in Denmark and from there by train over the Öresund Bridge. Of course, you can also travel directly by train to Malmö, Helsingborg, or Trelleborg. The journey from Hamburg to Malmö takes six hours. There is also a night train from Berlin to Malmö.
Good to know: The Skånetrafiken’s website includes the Google Translator in the top right-hand corner. Simply click on “Oversatt” and select the language.A holiday home by the sea is of course the ultimate for a summer vacation in the south of Sweden. However, you can usually only book them by the week from Saturday to Saturday. In addition, the best locations are quickly snapped up.A good alternative is to stay at campsites. They are more flexible when it comes to bookings.
Important to know: In Sweden, men and women usually visit saunas separately. In hot-air baths where saunas are taken together – for example, at a campsite – you leave your swimsuit on.Sweden’s museums not only offer a lot for children in terms of content, but the prices are often family-friendly as well. In Malmö, for example, adults can visit several museums in one day for SEK40 , while children go for free.
There are some particularly nice visitor centres in Skåne, such as the naturum at Strandhus on the Falsterbo peninsula.
