The most beautiful places in Sweden

Sweden is a country of rare beauty, even amid its starkest northern landscapes. Its cities and towns testify to 1000 years of urban life, but there are precious places offering glimpses into even older traditions of human settlement.

Lund

Sweden’s only Romanesque cathedral is Lund’s landmark. Although Lund did not start its history as a Swedish city, it has become one of the country’s most visited places for its atmosphere, its museums, and its beauty. 

Lund must be almost unique for having its open-air museum, Kulturen, right at its centre. But its university also forms part of the city core, with its churches making a graceful and walkable city centre.
