The city
Lund is one of Sweden’s oldest cities, founded around 990, a 10‑minute train ride from Malmö. It revolves around the universidade from 1666, with about 40,000 students. It has the Romanesque cathedral with a 15th‑century astronomical clock and the crypt of the giant Finn, the park Lundagård, the open‑air museum Kulturen and the Jardim Botânico, all within a few minutes’ walk of each other.

The local experience
The Romanesque cathedral of Lund, consecrated in 1145, with two stone towers, a 15th-century astronomical clock that chimes at set times, and a columned crypt where the legend of the giant Finn is said to dwell.
Open-air museum in central Lund, opened in 1882, with more than 30 historic houses from Escânia and other regions, from a farmhouse to a wooden church, and collections of silver, ceramics and glass.
The chestnut-tree park in central Lund, surrounded by the university's main building from 1882, by Kungshuset from 1584, and by the cathedral: the heart of student life since the 17th century.
The Jardim Botânico of the Universidade de Lund, covering 8 hectares and about 7,000 plant species, with tropical greenhouses and areas of Suécia's flora, a 10-minute walk from the cathedral.
