Discover the region
Explore the uniqueness of Skåne!
The coastlines in the south and west of the region are well developed for tourism. In the medieval town center of Malmö, bars and restaurants invite you to linger and many small shops invite you to take a stroll. The center on the southern coast is Ystad, which became famous for the criminal stories of its most famous son, Henning Mankell.

The pretty half-timbered villages in the interior of the country or the fishermen's settlements along the coast, where the freshly caught goods are still processed and smoked as they used to be, are great for short day trips. The east of Skåne is still strongly agricultural. Extensive deciduous forests in the interior and areas made up of orchards, rapeseed, and grain fields earned the area its nickname as "Sweden's breadbasket".
The Hallandsåsen and Söderåsen ridges in the northwest are surrounded by one of the largest protected deciduous forests in northern Europe. On the Kullaberg peninsula, you will find rugged, windswept rock faces and a lighthouse whose beam shines far above the Öresund.
The taste of Skåne
Modern haute cuisine meets Nordic specialties. In Skåne all gourmets get their money's worth. Even the New York Times has named the southern Swedish province one of the world's most exciting food destinations. Simplicity and freshness could easily be the motto of Skåne's culinary landscape ensuring that only first-class products from local, eco-friendly cultivation are served on the plate.
The garden cafés, which are particularly popular in rural areas, play a particularly important role. During "Fika", Sweden's traditional coffee break, you will find sweet or salty pastry specialties on offer
