Daytrip Lund & Malmö City Tour

The guide will meet you at Malmö Central Station to board our air-conditioned bus. We are a small group of 6 people who will take us to Lund. Arriving in Lund, we learn about the Vikings, who founded the town more than a thousand years ago, and see several of their monumental Rune Stones. This is followed by looking at part of the University and the goofy student events that the entire place centres on today. We finish off Lund by a visit to the mediaeval Lund cathedral, once the seat of the largest Christian archdiocese in the world, before we head off to Malmö. There you have lunch at your restaurant of choice in Malmö Saluhall, itself a landmark.

After lunch we hear the story of Malmö, a place that is the constant underdog. Malmö painstakingly works its way up to be wealthy and important, only to crash as the rug is pulled from beneath its feet, for the process to start all over again. Read more on our website.

Stop At: Lund Cathedral, Kyrkogatan 6, Lund Sweden

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: HSB Turning Torso, 34 Oestra Varvsgatan, Malmo 211 13 Sweden

The main landmark of Malmö is Scandinavia's tallest skyscraper. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, one of the biggest names in contemporary architecture around the world, it stands as a symbol of Malmö and its radical change from just a couple of decades before. The modern residential area around the Turning Torso follows suit, with a view across the water to Denmark.

Entry into the Turning Torso is only for residents and not possible during the tour.

Pass By: Malmohus castle, 6 Malmohusvagen, Malmo 211 18 Sweden
