Province of Skåne


Skåne County, is the southernmost county of Sweden, basically corresponding to the traditional province Skåne. It borders the countries of Halland, Kronoberg and Blekinge....

The seat of residence for the Skåne Governor is the city of Malmö, which is also the region’s capital. If you want to travel around Malmö have in mind that the city is best experienced by bicycle. At the heart of Malmö lie three squares, called Gustav Adolf's Square (Gustav Adolfs torg), the Big Square(Stortorget) and the Little Square (Lilla torg), all worth visiting. If you feel tired of sightseeing, relax by going to the main shopping streets Södergatan and Södra Förstadsgatan, where you can find all kinds of shops. If you happen to arrive there around Christmas, look out for pepparkakor, literally pepper cookies, but flavoured with cinnamon, ginger, molasses and cloves. Traditionally accompanied by glögg (mulled wine).
