First Impressions of Malmo and Lund, Sweden

Malmo Christmas Market included! First full day in Malmo, Sweden. We start our day with some breakfast at the hotel and then take the train to beautiful Lund. One of Sweden's oldest cities and a big University town. Of course, we have to visit the stunning cathedral, which is the biggest monument in the town. We also ran into the jamming University band on the main square 🎵

After exploring a bit more of the town and its history, we head back to Malmo for some delicious Swedish meatballs, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint 😋😋 From there we head to the Christmas markets and take in the beautiful scenery.

A tip to people visiting here (Skåne )and using public transport, tickets are single or 24 hours. Had they bought 2 tickets at the start i.e a 24 hour ticket, they would have had free travels in Malmö and Lund for 24 hours. A 24 hour ticket is probably the way to go at all times, unless you're not planning on coming back.

Wonderful video and what a cool city in Sweden. I love the food you showed at 9:29. Thank you for sharing!

If you're in Sweden and are having trouble finding a restaurant that serves meatballs you can try finding a restaurant that serves Wallenbergare. It's basically the luxury version of meatballs, they are slightly larger and flatter than meatballs and made from minced veal, mixed with whipped cream. It's typically server with more or less the same accessories as meatballs, except that the potatoes are always mashed.

That traditional meal with the meatballs had me drooling!

6:20 It is of course Charles the twelfth, (Karl XII), not Charles the seventh. Karl XII came back to Sweden after several years of warfare out in Europe and stayed in Lund for a year before he went to Stockholm. - By the way, Lund is my hometown, I am a native, and it is very fun to see these familiar streets.

Great video as always! Lund seems like such a cute town to visit.

What a wonderful city & terrific video

I loved you got some history in, and I'm very impressed you mentioned Lund and Skåne became swedish in the 1300s, most people don't know this. However, you forgot to mention this didn't last for long and the danes retook Skåne after only 30 year, in 1360. Then it was danish again for over 300 years until 1658, and it's been swedish ever since. So not that long really 😉
Hope you had a good time in Skåne even tho it was in the winter, and the winter in Skåne is awful! 😬

You should have stopped to Hjarup, that's the most amazing thing you can see in the area.

I hope I can go in December and January

I love this channel. But I hope you also visit Sweden in the summer. It's like a complete different country. Southern Sweden should be a summer visit and northern Sweden should be a vinter visit. Are you coming to my city, Gothenburg?

[mariannajansson]

I live in LUND its beautiful litel LOVE to you

[bartpickford]

Lund was the final destination, during my summer visit. The cathedral, streets and the food were so inviting and made for a peaceful feeling.

The little lake and cafe, which are near the botanical Gardens, are very pleasant too.

Definitely worth a revisit 🎉

Great vlog again. Sweden and Denmark have been at war over 30 times 😲😲. Parts of land were shifted and owned by Sweden and Denmark until 1658. After that Sweden's borders were established until today. If you say Charles VII, that is wrong. But it´s not easy to remember all the Kings. Thank you for sharing. ❤
