Southern Sweden

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.

Nature
The country´s southernmost region and one of Northern Europe´s richest farming districts, Skåne is generally associated with endless open fields and wide, flat horizons. Though this image is true of some parts of Skåne, particularly in the southeast, the region as a whole presents a much more diverse and varied landscape, from the lush leafy forest and dramatic rocky coasts of the northwest, over the fields and mile-long white beaches of the south, through the gently rolling hills and green groves of the west to the deep forests of the northwest.

All around Skåne, there is an abundance of sights, attractions and interesting historic locations well worth visiting. The region is famous for its almost innumerable magnificent castles, chateaus and manor houses from various historical eras.

Culture
If you´re interested in culture in the widest sense of the expression, the cities, towns, villages and countryside of southern Sweden are teeming with sights and attractions certain to please every preference and interest, whether your passion lies in visual arts, theatre and scene performances, music, design and architecture, history or virtually any other field of culture and creativity. There is an abundance of interesting museums, galleries, shops, theatres and temporary stages throughout the region, some open only during the warm season, but most year round.
