A land of contrasts and endless variation awaits you!

Southern Sweden is where around 80% of the population of the country lives and while it does not share the rugged landscape of the north, it makes up for it with pastoral, rolling countryside, endless forest and more temperate climes.

A holiday in Skåne can be what you want it to be – a good old-fashioned seaside holiday, staying in a cottages with your very own lake, or a stay in one of the larger cities of the region; Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg and combing it with trips to Glasriket (Kingdom of Crystal), or just days spent lazing my the sea at Mölle or the enchanting seaside town of Torekov.

Pleasures by the sea

The long, languishing coastlines that lie to the east and west in southern Sweden are dotted with fishing harbours and marinas, coastal towns and beach resorts set against a natural backdrop that is as uniquely Swedish as it is gorgeous. Just off the coast, the islands of Gotland and Öland are waiting to show you their charms.
