VISIT LUND

Carnet d’adresses: Lund

A short list of places we genuinely return to.

A short ride from Malmö, Lund feels like a small European city that has been doing “beauty and ideas” for a very long time. Cobblestones, bicycles, bookstores, cafés, and a skyline anchored by the Cathedral.

Founded as a center of learning in the Middle Ages, Lund’s academic life stretches back centuries. The city’s medieval studium generale dates to 1425, and today’s Lund University was officially founded in 1666.

Lund is an easy day trip from Malmö, reachable in about 10–15 minutes by train, or roughly 20 minutes by car, and it rewards unhurried wandering.


Fika & Sweets

Patisseriet — The place for pastries when you want something precise, glossy, and genuinely special.

Crêperiet — Crêpes, cider, and the kind of lively warmth that makes you linger.

Bröder Jakobs Stenugnsbageri — Proper bread, beautiful buns, and the scent of the ovens doing their work.

Alice and the Cat Tea Parlor — Tea-and-cake charm, for an afternoon that feels a touch storybook.


Food & Wine

Klostergatan — A Lund classic: seasonal cooking, smart wine, and a room that always feels like the right choice.

F. Bengtsson Ost — A serious little cheese shop, ideal for gifts, picnics, and edible souvenirs.


Culture & Museums

Skissernas Museum — A favorite: process over perfection, sketches and studies that show how art becomes art.

Kulturen — Open-air history done beautifully, a walk through Swedish life and architecture across time.

På Skissernas — A natural pairing with the museum: a café stop that keeps the day feeling easy.


Architecture & Gardens

Lund Cathedral — Romanesque grandeur, centuries of calm, and one of the great anchors of Scania.

Lund University & Lundagård — The classic university-and-park stroll: academic buildings, lawns, and that old-city feeling in miniature.

Botanical Garden — A reset in green: glasshouses, paths, and a slower pace for an hour.


Stay

Grand Hotel Lund — Old-world hotel elegance, the sort of place that makes a night in Lund feel like an occasion.
