Skane (pronounced ‘Skorr-ner’) is Sweden’s southernmost region and is geographically closer to Denmark than to much of the rest of Sweden, such that its heritage, especially that of the capital Malmo, has been largely influenced by its southern neighbour.
This fascinating area has a mild climate and an ambience more reminiscent of the South of France than what is often perceived of Sweden. In terms of landscape, Skane is characterised by its rolling farmland, beechwood forests and and attractive and accessible coastline. The pace of life in Skane is conducive to relaxation – dipping in and out of local galleries and workshops, enjoying scenic strolls and and leisurely activities.
From the distinctively bohemian university town of Lund to Renaissance influenced Kristianstad and Ahus, fine dining to a mild climate, this is a charming Swedish region.
