A beautiful old cathedral built around the 1100s. As with cathedrals back then, there is a crypt where kings and other important people were buried. Another really cool antique is the astrological clock that still works. Amazing place and it is definitely a must visit when in Lund.

Lund Cathedral isn’t just a place of worship — it’s a cathedral wrapped in Swedish legend, myth, and medieval wonder. From the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of centuries and stories pressing in from the stone walls and shadowy corners. The most fascinating part lies beneath the main floor — the ancient crypt, built in the early 12th century. Here stands the eerie statue of Finn the Giant, said in local legend to have built the cathedral in a single night. When the bishop tricked him out of payment, Finn tried to destroy the cathedral but was turned to stone and now stands silently guarding the crypt. It’s a chilling and unforgettable sight that adds a mythical edge to your visit. Then there’s the astronomical clock, an enchanting medieval timepiece that still functions today. Every day at noon and 3 p.m., you can watch it come to life as the Three Wise Men process before a mechanical Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, while medieval music plays. It’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Even if you’re not religious, the deep sense of Nordic lore, mystery, and ancient craftsmanship make this one of the most memorable cathedrals in all of Scandinavia. A must-visit for lovers of legends and the mystical past.

Very historical church , must visit and it’s near to malmo. It’s built in year 1100 and architecture is very beautiful. There is no entry ticket for this church. Usually there is lot of weddings happen in this church and some times it can be closed for visitors. There is paid parking available nearby. Lot of restaurants also nearby.

A very serene place, It is beautiful cathedral built around the 1100s. It was worth the visit for the beautiful stained glass windows and the silence. the offerings of burring the candle was satisfying

It's a magnificent ancient church that has retained its genius loci. There is an astronomical clock inside which shows not just time but also date and zodiac sign and it chimes, with moving marionettes, at noon. And this is followed by a short prayer and Bible reading, which I very much appreciated. The bookstore across the church yard is also very much worth visiting.

I really liked it. For a 1000-year-old cathedral, it's very well-preserved. Don't miss the basement, there's a very interesting crypt there.

Lund Cathedral (Swedish: Lunds domkyrka) is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Sweden in Lund, Scania, Sweden. It is the seat of the Bishop of Lund and the main church of the Diocese of Lund. It was built as the Catholic cathedral of the archiepiscopal see of all the Nordic countries, dedicated to Saint Lawrence. It is one of the oldest stone buildings still in use in Sweden.

A large open museum of Swedish culture in Lund, few temporary exhibitions are hosting there, all of them are very interesting, and there are lots of exhibits of different houses and cultures which shows the Swedish life from the 1600s to the modern days The open museum area is pretty large and it's perfect to enjoy a cozy afternoon there. There's a restaurant, a café and a souvenir shop with some very interesting books. You'll most likely spend more than 2 hours there thetefore is better to go there earlier.

I was quite impressed with the open-air museum. Apparently, throughout the last century, they have taken old buildings from around Sweden as they were about to be demolished and took them apart and reassembled them here as life-size exhibits, showing life in eras past. The 18th century parsonage and the wooden church are probably the most impressive items in this museum. But one can also visit a 1920s mason's apartment, or tan early 19th century house of a local university professor (he lived well). The whole place is very kid-friendly and one can spend anywhere between two hours or a whole afternoon there.

A beautiful open air museum about houses in Sweden from the 16th until the 20th century, some from the country-side others from villages and cities of southern Sweden. All free accessible and some with nice exhibitions. The museum is located in a city area with old buildings from the 16th century onwards worth wandering around.

A very nice open air museum with various old buildings. You can walk into some of them and see how people lived in the past. There are also various exhibitions in different museum buildings.

Wasn't really my thing in the end, but there are lots of diverse arts things to see here, so it is worth it though! I was also a bit tired this day

This museum is a must visit when you are in Lund. Every exhibition was well curated. Being an open air museum it offers both: beautiful scenery and authentic insights into life in historical Sweden.

If you are in Lund you should pay a visit to this ethnographic museum in the open..Better to visit it with good weather, though!

I love when spaces like this are public and easily available for visitors from all over the world. This is the place to heal your soul and body after a tough day

It is free and beautiful but there were no any coffee shop or at least i didnt see

An absolute must if you are the slightest keen on the world of plants, trees, shrubs and the lot! Amazing place to just walk around in, chill on a bench, explore all the interesting greenery and learn from informative signs along the way. Playground for kids, shop and cafe. A big greenhouse to enjoy too (closed until late 2026 for restauration). The garden is within walking distance from just about everywhere in Lund as situated close to centre.

Beautiful and relaxing park Kids also love Free entrance to the garden and there is small coffee place

I expected more flowers so I got a bit disappointed but it is a nice garden overall.

A very beautiful garden with a huge variety of plants and such as well as big neat lawns perfect for picnics or a bench if you’d prefer that. Right now it’s under construction but the new green house is no doubt going to be great!

Part of the park is closed for renovation and the beautiful flowers are fenced off with netting, so it was not possible to enjoy the whole park.

We had a great walk here. The weather was rainy, but the nature was beautiful even so. Everything is clear and there are toilets and also some drinkable water at a place along the thread. There are several threads we walked the 7,7km one.

You can enjoy various courses! I went with my kids, so we picked a short one, but it was still super fun! And it's awesome that you can enjoy the museum right in front of it too! Totally recommend checking it out! ✨

We went there on October 24th around 3 p.m. I know it was a bit late, but I only had a short time to see it. The drive to the park was very pleasant, and the parking lots were almost empty. Seeing it in the fall was truly beautiful - so colorful and peaceful. The trees, falling leaves, and the sound of the wind and water created a tranquil atmosphere. I really enjoyed my short visit there and took some amazing photos.

A breathtaking escape into nature! Söderåsen National Park is truly a hidden gem in southern Sweden. The scenery is absolutely stunning—lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful streams everywhere you look. The hiking trails are well-marked and range from easy walks to more challenging routes, so there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend the Skäralid valley hike and the lookout point at Kopparhatten—the views are unforgettable! The park is very well maintained, with clean rest areas and helpful maps. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day in nature, a family picnic, or a solo hiking adventure. I left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you’re in Skåne, Söderåsen is a must-visit!

One of the best national parks i have ever been to. The trails are marked well. One can very well rely on the trail signs on the trees to safely complete the trail without getting lost. I had the pleasure of taking the longest route - the blue trail. Its easy for the most part except for few elevations, which tested my endurance. Remainded me why its classified as hard. The lady in the reception was super kind and helped me with her suggestions of the trail.

Impressive nature park with several hotspots offering magical views and experiences. I can only recommend EVERYONE to visit the park and go on short or long hikes.”

nice place for an extended walk - lots of shadow / forest, hence ideal on hot days. don‘t do with kinderwagen, very young kids or elderly people; some tours can be quite choppy, slippery and hilly.

I liked the place, easily accessible and with a toddler it was amazing. The larger parks tend to be more stressful and slightly harder to view the animals. None of which I felt at this place. The animals really seem to be loved and cared for by the keepers. A good restaurant, with great food (I ate meatballs of course) A strong 4

Animals have very big spaces for living and enjoying there lives. There is a big park with trees, tables and cafe. You can make barbeque and have a picnic.

Nice zoo in a pleasant countryside surrounding. Not too many animals, but still enough to get kids up to 9-10 years old entertained. Nice addition to the park is a pool area, which is open during the summer, and included in the ticket price. Entrance fee is a bit on a high side of acceptable.

Very nice animal park with surprisingly many different types of animals. A good visit with the family. We arrived at opening time and very few people there then, so the walk around the park was almost done alone which is nice, as opposed to the commercialised parks.

Absolutely nice place to visit with family

Fast entry, easy parking, very well kept premises, easy to move around, a kaffe spot with fresh salads and fika, a good grill section to eat outside at fair prices. A well run business and thats good to see.

Perfect Saturday. The place is very family friendly, can pet some of the most friendly animals. Looks healthy and good space for them. Most importantly, they have capybaras and they are fantastic, will come back !

Comparative to other zoo in Sweden and this is fairly less entertaining, but there are good number of activities for the kids. They do not have any specific indoor marine or small animals and neither they have big animals like tiger lion elephant rhinos they have bear bison and nothing much fancy, a small dinosaur park is also good to see

We went before Halloween, the park was decorated very nicely. There was a good atmosphere and we loved the animals. It was a good visit.

Be prepared for a long walk 😊 We couldn't see all the animals but it was worth to visit. Buying the ticket online in advance (not the same day) will make you save a lot.

Very toddler friendly. There is a small Shawn the sheep ride area where you go with a tractor. (They do spray water on you during the trip, its super cute actually) The wall through the park is shaded. The dinosaur area is really cool, the dinosaur make noises and it can be a little bit scary, but is very fun even as an adult.

Nice place, especially for kids, but unfortunately we didn’t see any wolves or bears. Also, since it was a big day (Ebo Day), you could have staffed the food truck with more employees — it’s not reasonable to wait an hour just to get a burger sandwich, especially knowing there would be a large crowd.

Huge beautiful animal park, very nicely maintained. Various species. Restrooms throughout the park. Playgrounds, streetfood and a lot more

It's a nice place to have a day out in nature. It's all native animals, though, and many of them are nocturnal, so you likely won't see every animal in the park out and about. I really liked the area for the seals, and I thought it was unique in the way that it was set up like a natural pond, rather than something more resembling a swimming pool that you usually see at zoos. It was a very hot day when we came to visit back in August, and the ice cream certainly helped offset some of the heat!

It's definitely a 5-star spot. I mean, nature and the surroundings are just amazing. Next to the sea with nice walking paths. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighbourhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Try to get here during the sunny day, you will enjoy it more. Lots of history here.

Time travelling into Viking age. Unique stone formation on the edge of the sea. A nice walk from the carpark up to the cliffs through the village. Before you get the full view of the ship shaped massive stones you can read some information about the rocks. You can wandering off freely and enjoy the ancient stones-formation and the incredible view from the windy hill top to the sea. Be aware of cows grazing on this land around visitors... After that incredible experience on the way back you can also desend to the harbour where are lots of restaurants available or wandering in the little picturesque village and pop in into a coffee shop if they open, unfortunately in October they we're closed already...

Absolutely amazing site. The stones themselves are quite impressive, but the landscapes around are arguably the best part. The view of the sea is impressive, with nice and colorful flowers. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighborhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Nice bonus : just next to the stones, there is a group of horses and their foals that you can approach and feed (they are very friendly and curious about you). I went a Sunday and it was not particularly crowded. The closest village nearby is quite nice and cosy too if you want to take a break.

Enjoyed it! Lovely place although I did lack some information about it. Not too overrun by people and we had beautiful weather. Liked it but also not THAT special. Other than the parking lot it is free of charge so have a look at it :) especially if you like walking and/or have a dog. 🐕

Super nice view to the baltic sea and to the nearby neighborhood, very peaceful and you will walk by the sea and forests all the way to the stones which makes it a perfect hiking destination. Better to check public transportation timing beforehand for the way back because it works to a limited extent.

Excellent stone ship. It’s amazing how large the stones are and the setting in which they’re placed. So much history. Definitely worth a stop. Pay parking and restrooms nearby.

I strongly recommend visiting Ales Stenar and the little Käseberga Hamn nearby for lunch, drinks, or even just a short stroll by the sea. The nature and the sights are beautiful and unique. This place is an excellent choice if you want to get away from the noise and turmoil of the big cities.

Very nice castle with beautiful grounds. Didn’t visit the interior since we found the entrance free a bit off putting. However the surroundings are very enjoyable and it’s part of an ecopark which offers lots of possibilities to visit and hikes. Has a nice caffe with a good selection of pastries. Would definitely recommend.

Nice historical place to visit. The grounds are nice enough. Could have been better maintained specifically the ponds. Good read and guided tour. Food was ok but not much to choose from. No gluten free savoury options

Christinehof Slott fantastic place from spring to autumn. I love that place i went there with friend by walking around. You have to visit that place, so much power and energy in that place. There is parking place too and history about women Christine ant her life in that house.

❤️🌌

A wonderful experience. Beautiful castle with a great historic value. Seeing is believing!

Very interesting guided tour, nice surroundings where to stroll around and such a peaceful place!

A very Nice day for a trip to this amazing castle in the heart of skane They also have one happy hour with free coffee and very nice staff. Do visit this paradise.🙂

Very expensive for the experience - it is a guided tour of 40-45 minutes in Swedish, a few interesting tidbits that could have been a signpost :) Actually this would have been more appropriate as an unguided tour with arrows marking the route. And for 1/4 of the price. Chalk mines are in essense not thay interesting to look at as well.

A nice and quick guided tour through an old, primitive, limestone mine. The tour is about 40 minutes. There are stone steps leading into the mine, but beroende the entrance the ground is made of porous limestone and limestone gravel/dust. Not too slippery, but you still need to watch your steps slightly as the ground is not entirely flat. Headspace is mostly sufficient, but in some places you will likely need to crouch slightly.

Tourist trap. Tours are in Swedish and short. Cave is small. Didn't see anything special, no bats. Not worth the price.

I think it's good for children, but a little bit boring for adults. The excursion is very short and your ability to go to look something inside the cave is limited.

Extremely nice and quiet campsite. Friendly staff and good prices. The service buildings are kept very clean although the shower costs SEK5 it is acceptable because of how well maintained it is. The onsite 'cave' is well worth a visit as well.

The place offers bbq and a cafe in summertime. A new playground is located close to the mining entrance. Restrooms available and a small souvenirshop is also close at hand.

Well.. I really don't know what to type here. I love caves, but you are very limited to where you can go in the cave. And the tour was very childish. Other than that, a massive cave/old mine..

Every beach along the coast seems to be very different. This beach has tons of beautiful pebbles that are smooth and some are pretty colorful. Worth a visit!

A really nice hike if you start from the Hällevik side, right by the Kivik Musteri. There is also a parking and a camping spot. We went directly to the northern top which was a few kilometers. After that we went down to Naturum and from there to the beach. From the beach we took a path back to Hällvik, which was quite rocky so not suitable for too small kids or strollers. We had 4 and 6 year olds with us and they found the hike quite exciting and not so hard. In total we walked about 6-7 km, starting from 17 o’clock until 21. We also had a picnic on the top of the mountain and then had a stop for swimming and snacking at the beach. I was worried for the last part of the hike but I gave some lollipops to the kids and it really motivated them. If you come at the end of May you will find a blossoming rhododendrons at Hällevik.

Nice sandy meets deciduous forest Has lovely small and large trails Free parking Nice restrooms Lovely terrain and scenery Has camping spots

Nice hiking tracks. Do not forget to wear shoes :)

A picturesque, varied and interesting national park. Not that large, one can visit most parts of the park in a few hours by foot.

Great national park. Went there in autumn. It was just gorgeous hike. Hike goes through hilly forest and next to beach. Have couple picking spots. Looking forward to go there in other season as it must be great all year around.

One of my favourite spots in Skåne. Beautifull beach, some nice walks in the national park, great views from the top of the 'stonehead'. They also have some good grilling spots, just bring some coal and meat, or whatever floats your boat ;)

A worthy stop when in Österlen. There is a cafe, a shop and a viewing factory where they display some of the machinery and juice making process, fun to see for kids. The cafe was somewhat pricier than normal. For example, a piece of apple pie was 59kr. The shop, on the other hand, is cheaper than what you would pay in a store. There were many people on a Friday afternoon, but I wouldn’t say crowded. The biggest attraction is swings in the tree that are super high. Kids loved it as it goes really high, very popular.

Really nice stop if you’re in the area! Nice cafe offering different options for fika or lunch, with a bit of an apple twist. Vegetarian options, dogs allowed.

One of the best salads I ever had... The freshest produce and a very large portion and exciting flavours.

Peaceful environment, nice food at restaurant. Natural drinks :)

This soft drink producer is national popular in Sweden. Try fresh aple juice with greate taste. Siper many variations of drinks, jam and fruit jelly cream. Get here and be like a swede.

Had lunch at the restaurant that wasn't so great but passable. Nice venue though. The shop has a lot to choose from but prices are not so different from those on the general markets.

One of the best places to visit in Kivik, if not the best. This factory produces its own apple cider and other related products. As a visitor, you can walk around the apple trees and learn about the production of the cider as well as having a tour inside a simulation of the factory. There's also a store where they sell all of their products. The place is suitable for families.

Another excellent naturrum in Sweden. It shared considerable information about fishes found in the area(river, lake). It is also one of the places with good birdwatching opportunities. One of the staff members, Sussie, explained with enthusiasm about the cranes that visit the vattenriket area between mid-April and mid-May. Their changing display of fishes found in the area is an easy way to impart information. The restaurant on the second level is value for money, also the view is nice. The Opteryx experience is exciting for the kids, not much for the adults. There are two short hiking trails in the area. Overall, I highly recommend it.

If you are passing through Kristianstad in the south of Sweden, don't miss the a walk along the nature reserve just outside town. It is centric around the water and it's importance for the area. The area has a very rich bird and plant habitat

This is a small-scale, cool , interactive natural-museum kind of structure. I love how it encourages children (and adults) to research their surroundings. There are examples of eggs of various local birds, models of the birds, local plant examples, microscopes with samples of bones, plants, etc...it is really an interesting and fun way to explore local fauna and flora.

A must visit place when in Kristianstad. Very interesting presentation of wetlands wild life. Do not miss to enter simulation cabin and have a fascinating trip from air to land and even underwater all over the wetlands area.

Wonderful nature preserve in Kristianstad Sweden. Family had a surprise reunion of all the relatives. Loved the views. Had dinner there and it was great.

Great visitor center for the wetlands biosphere surrounding Christianstad. Lots of interactive and passive information, and I can recommend the opteryx ride!

Good place for a walk in the park (or castle grounds) which is located on a narrow piece of land between two lakes. Having walked to the end of the gardens to the lake, you will find a little island which has a view of the lake, linked by wooden bridge which has a swing on it!

A unique place indeed! Old car yard of cars from 1930s-60s. There are sinages to explain the history of the place. Power of Mother Nature can be visibly seen as the forest is reclaiming back its space. Very small limited parking area.

Very unusual place. Full of old rusting cars and car parts. Like a cemetery. I imagine it used to be cool when the cars were still recognizable. Now it is just rust and dented metal. Quite depressing but stays in memory. Worth to visit. For free.

We had an amazing time walking through the wrecks. The sense of quietness and stillness was a much welcome experience after being on the road for a while.

Well worth a visit if you are into cars... every corner seems to tell a different story. There are so many different views and angles. The woods are slowly taking over. There are signs explaining what the owner did over all those years and the city trying to find a solution to deal with everything left in the woods. 2001 they decide to keep it to let people see how nature heals itself. We'll be back at some point to see how things change.

Fascinating place. Even when you do not like cars.

Whether it’s a work of art representing the transience of life or simply a lot of trash in the forest—that’s for each visitor to decide. We lean a bit more toward the latter. Still, it’s worth a quick stop if you’re passing by, but I wouldn’t make a detour just for it.

A nice place with a lot of old cars in the middle of nowhere. It looks like a kind of swamp where the cars has been placed. Meanwhile, the nature takes the dog back. The entrance is for free.

Mystical Island with lots of gems

It is a quiet beautiful place with a lot of nature and nice houses, on the top you have a nice few at the see.

Nice

Nice place

(Translated by Google) An incredibly well-maintained guest harbor with a good restaurant. Beautiful walking trails that often lead to encounters with fallow deer. A compliment to the harbormaster! (Original) En otroligt välskött gästhamn med bra restaurang. Vackra promenadstråk som ofta ger möten med dovhjortar. En eloge till hamnvärden!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and varied nature, with fearless deer. However, the footpaths are not very well marked and there is no distance information on the arrows. It would have been great if the map of the island was available as a pdf on the island's website so that you could know more about where you were and have the information texts available. (Original) Vacker och varierande natur, med orädda hjortar. Gångstigarna är dock inte jätte bra utmärkta och det saknas avstånd information på pilarna. Hade varit toppen om kartan över ön funnits som pdf på öns hemsida så man kunnat veta mer vad man var och haft informationstexterna tillgängliga.

(Translated by Google) Great island with the brightest lighthouse in the entire Baltic Sea! You can go for a great walk here. There are plenty of nice holiday apartments. On the island you will often come across numerous deer with great antlers. The ferry is on time and cheap. We didn't eat, unfortunately the coffee wasn't hot anymore. But that seems relatively unimportant and secondary to us. The island is beautiful (Original) Tolle Insel mit dem hellsten Leuchtturm der ganzen Ostsee! Man kann hier klasse Spazieren gehen. Es gibt reichlich schöne Ferienwohnungen. Auf der Insel laufen dir oft zahlreiche Hirsche mit tollen Geweihen über den Weg. Die Fähre ist pünktlich und günstig. Gegessen haben wir nicht, leider war der Kaffee nicht mehr heiß. Was uns aber relativ egal und zweitrangig erscheint. Die Insel ist wunderschön

Amazing experience for my daughters. At least 4 hours needed. The movie shown about how the eye works was way to heavy though. Not sure why they choose that movie for kids. I had a hard time following how all the different cells in the eye function on a molecular level, or how level jumps in hydrogen electrons send out different frequencies of energy in space. :D But besides that, a great place for my 9-year olds.

We're here to see the dinosaurs we're so much more to see. Do you have children I recommend you to go here. They have a shop with a lot of small things. You can take a fika if you want to, you are going to need a coffee after spending hours here

Great scientific experience for kids and adults. It includes astronomy, climate change, physics etc. There is also a nice open-air space with an old jet fighter, bubble soap tool and some other mechanical experimental tool.

The permanent exhibits are interesting but a little aging. There are some nice interactives but many are broken or not working properly (one of the remote-controlled boats, the water power station in the park, the mouth-like musical instrument, among others). The dinosaur exhibit was great for my 4 year-old! He loved the animated robots, the digging, shadow theater and painting activities. But for older kids it might be a little boring. Besides these activities the exhibit itself does not have much interaction or information. I felt a lack of docents/educators to give out information, help us use the interactives or present special activities. I was not told about the fossil hunting that took place outside when we entered, which was a real shame, I only saw it when it was too late! In summary, we had a great time but many things could be improved.

The place is OK, available food,some.interactive games,but I was disapointed by the fact it did not changed in four years since I have been there last time.it has very limited opening hours even during season as well.

Expensive to visit both places. Kids enjoyed the snakes etc but only for an hour.

Good place to take your kiddos. But also your parents.

An amazing day in the Fortress and a friendly, funny guide walked with us on the island. The " wild" lives were interesting too ( haha!) it was public holiday and no one worked there though

So much Swedish naval history at this place.

(Translated by Google) Nice fort, you can only visit the fort with a guide and boat. You must not walk around alone. Some stairs and you walk a lot, no seats unless the guide has placed chairs. Not adapted for the disabled. It is absolutely worth a visit. (Original) Fint fort, man kan endast besöka fortet med guide och båt. Man får inte gå runt själv. En del trappor och man går mycket, inga sittplatser om inte guide har ställt fram stolar. Inte handikappsanpassat. Det är absolut värt ett besök.

We didn’t get to set foot on Kungsholm Fortress, but we were lucky enough to get an incredible view of it from our cruise ship as we sailed into Karlskrona—and even from a distance, it was impressive. The fortress sits on a small island just off the coast, and its strategic position at the entrance to the naval harbor makes it clear why it played such an important role in Sweden’s maritime defense. Built in the late 1600s, Kungsholm Fortress has guarded the approach to Karlskrona for centuries and remains an active military installation, which makes it all the more fascinating. From the water, you can spot its rounded bastions, lighthouse, and even a glimpse of the courtyard inside the old stone walls. Knowing it has a botanical garden within the fortress walls—planted by the soldiers and maintained for generations—only added to the intrigue. While civilian access is restricted, getting a view of Kungsholm from the ship gave us a real sense of its scale and historical significance. If you’re cruising into Karlskrona, be sure to head out on deck—you won’t want to miss this striking piece of Swedish naval history quietly holding its post just offshore.

(Translated by Google) Masterful. The fort was built around 1680. There was never any actual fighting. The entire island and fortress are intact and original. The tour goes via the towers to the roof. The cannons were there to defend the water entrance. The cannons are gone, there is now an art gallery with works by stationed soldiers and war implements and tools on display. It also smells like the year 1700. You can climb the lighthouse from the roof. A beautiful place to take panoramas. The guide was perfect and knew everything. Was a former Marine himself. (Original) Magistraal. Het fort is gebouwd rond 1680. Er is nooit daadwerkelijk gevochten. Het hele eiland en het fort zijn intact en origineel. De rondleiding gaat via de torens naar het dak. Daar stonden de kanonnen om de wateringang te verdedigen. De kanonnen zijn weg, er is daar nu een kunstgalerij met werken van gelegerde soldaten en er zijn oorlogsvoortuigen en -gereedschappen te zien. Het ruikt er ook naar het jaar 1700. Vanaf het dak beklim je de vuurtoren. Een prachtige plek om panorama's te maken. De gids was perfect en wist alles. Was zelf een oud-marinier.

(Translated by Google) Nice fortress near Karlskrona. Definitely worth a visit. But you have to book a guided tour and go there on a tourist boat. Unfortunately, you don't have unlimited time to explore the island. (Original) Nette Festung bei Karlskrona. Unbedingt einen Besuch wert. Man muss aber eine Guided Tour buchen und mit einem Touristenboot dorthin fahren. Leider hat man nicht unbegrenzt zeit die Insel zu erforschen.

(Translated by Google) Very nice facility with knowledgeable guide ensured a pleasant afternoon for the whole family. (Original) Väldigt fin anläggning med kunnig guide borgade för en trevlig eftermiddag för hela familjen.

Interesting and extensive museum, gives great insight in the becoming of Karlskrona. The submarine is most impressive, although all the other exhibitions were also created with great care. One minor problem was that not all the signage was always available in English, or maybe only one sentence was while the Swedish text was very extensive. Google Translate solved this, but that could be improved for foreign visitors.

While not a huge museum, it has some great exhibits, not least a very large naval submarine you can go inside and walk about in. There is a theatre that shows a very well presented film on the timeline of the Swedish navy. All the exhibits are displayed well and have English explanations alongside those in Swedish. The information is not verbose, which is a mistake often made by museums I've been too. The museum has an excellent restaurant which rounds off a really enjoyable experience overall !

Most beautifull museum for marine, I've seen. Being able to visit a real U-boot on the inside completly, just gives you much more feeling with the history and live in the marine. Also the lunch buffet in the museum is good quality.

Very interesting exposition includes 2 submarines and 3 ships. Good for visiting with kids. Also discount is available for entance if less than 1 hour until closure left

A lovely couple of hours entertainment. Lots of bits that both kids and adults can enjoy like the nuclear submarine you can go on - do expect queues in busier periods. Really nicely weaved in overarching narratives with rich personal stories and events such as the Polish submariners who fled to Sweden in WW2 and Swedish conscripts experiences of the cold war. For an Englishman a fascinating way to learn more about Sweden's evolution through regional power, to superpower, to the softpower and cultural force you see today.

Very interesting museum offering informal text in various languages. It is a very interactive museum aswell with educational games so you easier can learn about for example submarines and how they work. You can enter a submarine aswell and see how they lived in there and more. There is also a buffet restaurant at the entrance if you want a quick bite before or after your visit.

I’ve been visiting the Blekinge region for years, and I must confess that this museum surprised me very positively with its accurate exhibitions and attention to detail. It transports you back in time and offers a magnified view beneath the surface of Karlskrona’s naval mastery. The museum doesn’t earn a full five stars because the bistro offers only limited and rather bland plant-based options, while most Swedish classic meals served are centered around meat and fried fish. Moreover, I felt the museum’s exhibitions tended to present Sweden’s naval and military history in a way that passively promotes war. Despite being a civilian institution, the displays often focus on military achievements and hardware without encouraging deeper reflection on the consequences or ethical complexities of conflict. I would have appreciated a more critical perspective that invites visitors to consider the broader impacts of war, rather than treating it as an inevitable or unproblematic part of national history.

Sweden's tallest lighthouse. Tickets are sold in the boutique (restaurant's side), not at the entrance (friendly staff). I was told there were 200 steps to the top, might be 197, I didn't count. The staircase is very narrow but overall the climb is easy-peasy. Might obviously be better when the weather is nice but overall very good spot for bird watching it seems. The views are what you'll be here for and are up to what you expect. Everything around is a protected natural area.

So nice place which definitely worth it. I was there on Friday and only few people were there with me. Entry to the lighthouse cost 50 SEK and the view is so beautiful.

Well worth a trip if you like birds, good view of the unique landscape from the top

It's one of our favourite places to walk in nature among the birds. We have been regular visitors to Långe Jan and the bird sanctuary for the last 1.5 years. Långe Jan is Sweden's tallest lighthouse. The view from the top is breathtaking. The lighthouse is only open during the summer and autumn (check the exact timings on their website). They have an entrance ticket that can be bought on the spot. The entrance opens at every hour. There's free parking and free toilets on the premises. They also have a bird museum, a small souvenir shop and a restaurant. Parking is open around the year whereas other facilities are open only during their opening time of the year. You can walk around the premises, on marked trails in the forest, and by the sea. Be sure to look at the map so as not to walk to the prohibited areas or hunting areas. The reserve also serves as a grazing area for cows and sheep. You can easily spot different species of birds, deers, rabbits, and seals. I recommend carrying decent binoculars to experience the surrounding beauty.

Beatiful view If the weather is good, you can go up to the platform by paying a small fee (i recoment bringing cash with you) and If its open you can only go up at full hours!

The tallest lighthouse in Sweden from which you can admire variety of birds. It's also hugely popular with birdwatchers. The place itself is very peaceful with not many visitors, there were no queues (middle of August). So, if you're into nature and landscapes it's worth visiting.

It's probably a good spot for bird watching but I think the restrictions on where you can go due to the bird sanctuary was too restricting. But as I said. For bird watching probably great, for humans with dogs just wanting to explore the nature I would go elsewhere.

Öland is a fascinating island. The landscape changes every few miles. The south is a complete different place than the north. It's rural, vast and rugged...and pretty flat. It's an amazing place and home to lots of animals (most of them being birds down here). It's easy accessible by the main road. Parking is plenty....the lot is really huge and free of charge. There's no entrance fee as well. Besides the landscape there's also a wonderful lighthouse, a restaurant, a visitors centre and some shops. Some bathrooms as well. The most southern tip is off limits for dogs though. There are several walking trails leading around the south. Some right through a cow pasture. This Naturum is definitely a nice place to be and to take a walk.

Very good nature reserve area. The lighthouse can be paid to enter. It was so windy that day. But I saw seal.

A great place for birds and people, charming atmosphere of southern Oland.

Very unfriendly staff in the butik. We were with 2 people but only 1 could go inside, no problem at all would you think. The women inside got angry on my wife while she had a clothespin in her hand (8 clothespins = 8 costumers). I was waiting outside. My wife came outside crying because of the unfriendly staff. Butik not recommended! Unfriendly staff! Go somewhere else! Just enjoy the nature with a smile on your face.

Perfect place to see some wildlife. Lots of different birds around the lighthouse. Fun to hear and see the seals. Don't forget to bring a pair of binoculars or so.

Great close up viewing of wetland birds. A good restaurant, lighthouse and really engaging nature interpretation centre, kids loved it.

It's worth a visit for both adults and children. A lot of interesting things to learn. The staff are friendly.

Don't miss the castle if visiting Kalmar! The mummy exhibition is both interesting and fascinating at the same time. Make sure to set aside a half day if you want to go through the castle & mummy exhibition the same day. Comfortable shoes, you will be stepping stones for hours. The park outside the castle is very nice to relax in. You can find rare trees and flowers planted there, each with a little sign of name and year it was planted. Some are very old.

This was our second visit, and we loved it again. They have fun stuff for kids to do, and the castle itself is interesting to explore. The food in the café is good and reasonably priced. The staff all speak English and many seemed to speak German as well (and Swedish, obviously).

Beautiful castle but no way worth the entrance fee. Perhaps if you want the 'included' guided tour or you have small kids to take on the challenges, or you really want to see a random Egyptian exhibition it might be worth the money, but if you want a self guided tour and learn about the history of the castle yourself it's not worth the fee. Recommendation - charge a more reasonable base entrance fee then people extra if they want a guided tour or to enter the Egyptian exhibition.

Beautiful and well preserved castle in Kalmar with lots of interesting history. The guided castle tour is recommended as well as to visit during one of the many events in summer.

Liked: - Even though it is largely reconstructed, its exteriors are a view. - Their guided tours are nice, even if not the best. - Kids can enjoy at least for 3-4h, so it is a plus. Lacked: - A comprehensive timeline chart like the one in Borgholm slot. - A clear and chronological understanding of the exhibition of Kalmar slott history.

The castle was really fascinating. The souvenir shop was also very interesting but a bit pricey. Recommend visiting!

A small but very well maintained castle.The ongoing Egyptian mummy exhibit is an added bonus

Total waste of money. Everything overpriced and falling apart. No lifeguards, no showers – zero hygiene or safety. Rides and equipment are ancient and dangerous. Staff rude, exhausted, or can't even speak the local language. Animals barely visible, and those that are look sick. Extra charges everywhere for useless experiences. Nothing works. Nothing's available. No one cares.

Absolutely terrible experience – avoid at all costs. Shocking value for money – outrageously expensive for what little (and low-quality) service or experience you get. A total rip-off. No safety measures whatsoever – not a single lifeguard in sight. A disaster waiting to happen, especially around water attractions. No basic hygiene standards – no showers available before or after bathing. Completely unsanitary. Outdated and dangerous equipment – rides and facilities are ancient, rusty, and clearly neglected for years. Everything feels like it could break at any moment. Serious security concerns – staff tasked with safety and supervision at the amusement park can’t even speak Swedish. Communication breakdown in an emergency would be inevitable. Rude and exhausted employees – the few staff members who do speak Swedish seem completely indifferent and burned out. Zero customer service or professionalism. Extra charges for basic experiences – they charge extra to ride a train within the zoo, and even that is ruined by a broken sound system and apathetic staff. Hardly any animals to see – and the few visible ones looked lethargic and unwell. It felt more depressing than entertaining. Everything is either unavailable or barely functional – constant disappointment around every corner. Feels like they’ve given up completely.

Unsafe, unclean, unfriendly, and utterly not worth the money. A deeply unpleasant experience that I cannot recommend to anyone – especially families or anyone expecting even basic standards of care or service.

I would say this place have safety and hygiene issue. Dangerous and very old amusement park. The staffs are tired and no mood to work. Good is blend and expensive ticket the plus is the waterpark is nice but worried of safety and the kids pool is cold.

It has everything together , not the best of everything but okayish quality , good for family , need improvement like providing maps , enviroments and better keeping on animals, cleaness specially in toilets and safety measures.

We were there on 14/7-25, we had good weather and light wind. Experienced that almost the entire park smelled of urine or at least where the animals were. We rode the carousel caterpillar and discovered that screws to the protective barrier could be loosened beforehand. If you are going to a zoo, I recommend Skånes Djurpark (Höör), Kolmården (Norrköping) or Universeum (Gothenburg) for a more valuable experience.

Very bad I would not recommend it specially for a family trip. Stuff treat you very unprofessional way. We paid for two days and the day after the whether was very bad , raining and not safe to go out. We came the day after wearing bands and receipt to use the second day of the attraction and they want us to pay again for the entry. They wouldn't even communicate with us they just shut us off. VERY BAD.

Nice old castle. But there is not so much to see because only the walls are left. The museum is a small history of the castle. But there was a really nice temporary exhibition called "Forgotten places".

In Sweden, öland has lot of places to see and this castle is definitely should be in your list of you live in Sweden. Once I went to the Örebro castle literally there was nothing. But Borgholm castle was amazing with sea view. Car parking is available. There are few small boutiques to buy ice cream and souvenir. Tickets should be buy at the entrance. They have explained history for every corner of the palace. There was a room which was in ground, mentioned as dragons world. Everything was worth to see. Deserve five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best treasure hunt ever for kids. An easier treasure hunt for the little kids,where they have to find eggs. And a more difficult one for older kids,with great riddles and an amulett. Our kids said it was the best castle and treasure hunt they've ever been to. The castle and the exhibit is really nice. We enjoyed our stay and it was absolutely worth every krona.

Werry beautiful place, awaiting approval from lantmaterialet for create my film. Hoply i can relese the Øland film in midle of August 2025. feel free to chek out my YouTube ----> @NordicDronePilot lantmaterialet ID LM2025/098887

Borgholm Castle certainly worths a visit while one visits Öland. It's a big castle with many rooms and picturesque views. There is a permanent exhibition about the history of the castle and temporary exhibitions. When we visited, the temporary one was about forgotten places and it was very well made and fitted the mood of the castle. A negative aspect is that the café only works during on season which is very short in Sweden. It ends middle of August when many international tourists still have their holiday.

Had our wedding here amazing venue. Castle staff were always very helpful and welcoming.

Kids 3 and 11 loved it. The scavenger hunt was perfect and the staff was friendly. Cool exhibits.

We went to the cafe and they had waffles, coffee, and ice cream. There are 9 options of waffles to choose from with various toppings. The waffles were freshly made and very crispy. The strawberries were fresh as well. The cashier was very friendly and answered our questions in English with patience. We also ordered a latte and a cappuccino and both were decent. Only had outdoor seating, the benches were a bit dirty but nothing major.

There are 3 separate establishments at this location. A pizzeria, ice cream shop and a restaurant. We visited the restaurant. We ordered “lufsa” and 2 drinks. This came out to be over 350kr. Considering that the lufsa seemed to be a microwaved one you could buy at the store - this was SUPER expensive. But the view is good …

Had lunch in the restaurant, pan fried kroppkakor for 179kr, I liked it personally but is not cheap consider you can buy them in Swedish supermarkets for less than 10% of the price. It comes with lingonberry sauce and water is free, contrary to previous reviews. Eating inside the Sandviks Kvarn gives the atmosphere of a old tavern that justifies the price of the experience, but visitors can also eat outside, they do have perfect summers there. Waitress is friendly, professional with a great smile and deserves praise.

Unfortunately food and service are not good. Table was dirty, got a dirty cloth to wipe it. We ordered traditional Swedish kroppkakor, they came without cream and lingonberry sauce which is a must for this dish. I had to ask for it and still got so little of the cream and sauce… They charged 15 kr for a tiny jug of tap water. They forgot to serve the tea we ordered, had to ask again. I understand that the staff had a lot to do, get more staff and train them better!! Beautiful place and decor, the only good impression we got.

Nice located place just next to the old windmill. Almost empty in early September, but probably full during summer season. Tasty pizza and nice, smiled staff. Definately worth to step into👍

The potato dish with bacon was delicious and the inside of the windmill restaurant had a very nice atmosphere.

Delicious food. I like it. Beautiful view Kroppskakor👍🏼

National park that ends in a light house. We cycled there ftom Byxelkrok, really enjoyed the cycle, cycke lane in good condition. Peaceful and quiet at the end of summer after most other tourists left. Picturesque nature, loved it.

A very friendly and cool place to visit on Öland. The drive to the lighthouse is an experience in itself. The lighthouse has an interesting history as well. It's not as tall or popular as the southern lighthouse, but this just adds to the charm. Also, it sits on its own small island too. Nearby parking accepts RVs for overnight as well.

We get gluten-free waffles witch where very delicious. After a few problems with the booking options for the Kayakomat we had a beautiful trip with the Kanus we lent at the Site. Very Special thanks to the staff at the Site for the help. We'll come Back

Great views from the top. The climb is easy. Tickets can be purchased at the building next to the lighthouse.

Långe Erik lighthouse on Öland is a hidden gem! The climb to the top rewards you with breathtaking views of the island and the Baltic Sea. The peaceful surroundings and picturesque scenery make it a perfect spot for a relaxing visit. The lighthouse is beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into maritime history. A must-visit for anyone exploring Öland!

Lovely landmark. You can climax the lighthouse for a nice view. Not spectacular. Easy to access.

The lighthouse itself is very pretty and the view is fantastic. There are good parking possibilities for both bikes and cars. The wait to get in was understandably kind of long as we visited in week 29, the most common vacation week in Sweden. However it was a tad too difficult to understand where to buy tickets, and the price was double that on the Öland tourism website. Price for an adult in July 2023 was 60 sek.

It's a beautiful island and definitely worth visiting! Especially for the ones who love nature and animals. However, I will not recommend joining the guided tour as it was mostly in swedish. Even though about half of the attendees were English speaking... In the end the guide was talking 10 min in swedish and summarizing everything in one sentence in English. Or telling the story in English while walking to the next viewpoint which made realy hard to hear for everyone. The tour was disappointing...

Beautiful place. A bit muddy, hiking shoes are needed.

Beautyfull Island, hard to reach, but worth it! Tip for sailors, you have to call and ask for free berth. Average depth is 200 cm, be carefull.

A special part of Gotland, even with the bad weather we had it was a very nice visit! Nice lunch restaurant as well.

Great nature reserve either for a day visit or staying overnight. Interesting fauna, flora and history. A must for birds lovers.

Top notch island. Make sure to catch one of their lighthouse raves, but be careful as the seabirds can get a bit rowdy. For a more peaceful experience try Lilla Karlsö.

Amazing place with amazing views...and Birds!
