In addition, the maculinea arion (large blue butterfly) can be found here. The island offers day trips or overnight stays for nature lovers looking to experience its interesting fauna and flora as well as historical significance.
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.

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.
Långe Erik, an 1840s limestone lighthouse located on Öland island's northern coast in Sweden, boasts a balcony offering breathtaking views of the area. A small village was built around the lighthouse to enable keepers to operate it, complete with a permanent teacher for children's education. The surrounding area is stunning and the architecture of the lighthouse is impressive. Långe Erik served as a necessary beacon for ships navigating through tumultuous seas during stormy weather conditions.
Great views, easy climb to the top and some interesting history to read.
Derek Olander — Google review
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.

Nice little island with a lighttower and a little trail, it's also the notherns part of Öland.

From our visit in mid-August 2020. Covid restrictions which gave a little longer waiting time, but no problem. Wonderful day and equal weather so it was just to enjoy the views. Beautiful nature with the sea fields around, but miss something to eat, which would give five stars.

Did you know that they built a (really) small village around the lighthouse so that the lighthouse keepers should be able to keep operating it? They even had a permanent living teacher here for the kids, cause in Sweden everyone has right to education. Fascinating!
The view is nice and all the pictures that you take come out stunning!
Last time we were there it was really blowing and the sea was ferocious, your really understand why a lighthouse was needed there...

We stopped here for dinner. Great place and restaurant/cafe with mini golf activity. Also dog friendly but you can sit only outside with dog. We had their kroppkakor. It was delicious. Must visit if you are nearby. Service persons are also friendly and nice to talk to.

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.

If you target an audience selling "waffles and ice-cream" with huge banners on the roof of your café, I expect better than half of a Belgian (!) waffle with store-bought jam and ice cream (for 90 SEK) and luke-warm coffee. Nice outdoor area, but that's all. Avoid unless necessary.

Great service even though it was very very crowded (Sweden and Öland has become totally overcrowded during the Corona pandemic). Good that you can choose form two restaurants (fancy or pizzeria). Free tampoline available and mini golf (pay to play). There is also a café and icecream bar available.

Very cozy place. Great and large Lufsa. Also have other local food. The garlic bread is not the best on the island even though they say it on the menu. Garlic bread served with sweet and sour sauce and a boring aioli. But nice place. Great staff. Highly recommend it. Especially for Lufsa!
Borgholm Castle, the largest ruined castle in Northern Europe, is located just south of town. Dating back to the 17th century, it was a Baroque castle that was burnt and abandoned early in the 18th century after serving as a dyeworks. Despite being ruined, guided tours are offered along with an event program including summer concerts and children's activities at the nearby nature reserve.
This castle was a lot more entertaining than I expected. Many different views, nooks and crannies to explore. There are 3 floors currently open to the public with their own unique areas and architectural designs. There was also an art gallery in the basement /main floor but the main attraction was definitely the courtyard. Would def recommend visiting if you are in the area! If you have kids, this is an amazing place for them to roam and have fun but be aware of certain unsafe and slippery areas.
Admission to enter is a bit pricey (100kr) and they have a souvenir shop as well on the premises. You can roam around the castle from the outside for free though.
Lastly, there are two parking lots. 1st one is usually full from the entrance, but the 2nd one has a nice hidden scenic back path through the cows and pasture.

The castle is a given attraction in Borgholm, there is a very pleasant walk from the Strand hotel and marina through the forest park. The cafe by the castle has nice coffee and sandwiches as well as pizza.
Thomas Wahlgren — Google review
The castle ruins are beautiful and the view is gorgeous from the second story. You have to walk carefully since the ground is uneven. You can bring your dog as long as you keep it on a leash. I was unlucky and visited the day after they'd ended their guided tours for the summer. Luckily they have an app where you can download a guided tour, listening to short snippets by different numbers in the castle. This is where I have to give fewer stars because there's a discrepancy between where the numbers are placed in real life and on the map in the app, making it very hard to find some of the spots. And they're supposed to be marked by red flags but not all of the numbers are. Eventually, after running around trying to find the numbers, I gave up.
It's still worth a visit if you enjoy old castle ruins and are in the neighborhood. If you like me prefer to have a guide I recommend you go here during high season when there are actual guided tours.
Oh, also. The toilets outside of the entry cost 10 sek to visit. (I have strong opinions about that.) If you are planning to go inside the ruins, hold it in and use the free toilets inside instead.
Helena Zeegers — Google review
My visit to Borgholm castle was truly unique in the purest sense ever. I was all alone and as such had the joy of exploring every corner and crevasse of this vast castle all in my own sweet time. And if ever there was a castle to explore! Impressive restoration and preservation made it possible to go everywhere you'd wish. See if you can find the naturally made markings on the wall: slaughtered pig hanging, hen with one foot and the infamous dog eating a sausage. They had made some fun gimmicks to take selfies on which I couldn't resist. In every sense of the word an unique experience

Great experience for me and my kids. Got to sit om the roof of a wagon, pulled by a tractor through the large enclosure. They had 4 'rides' per day. Reserve tickets ahead of time.
We got to Handfeed the many moose from the roof with potato slices. Got very very close to them.
The moose were certainly 'tamed' and not 'wild' but as wild animals in captivity goes I got the impression they were well cared for, had good and suitable living conditions, and the handlers had a genuine respect and love for the big animals.
The handlers gave us good information about the animals in English, easy to understand instructions.
While we were many on the ride, the handlers were great at making sure we all got a chance to 'meet' the moose close up.
Afterwards we used one of the open campfires and tents to grill sausages, they provided the ketchup from dispensers.
A good souvenir shop was available.
Toilet and restroom conditions were the only thing lacking, with only chemical toilets available (I imagine due to the huge investment it would be at the farm to establish - so I'd rather they focus on the animal care anyway).
I suspect it isnt very handicap suitable if in wheelchair, although I did not look into it.
T. Nysted — Google review
Definitely worth the visit. Feeding and kissing a moose is unlike any experience you e encountered.

Amazing and beautiful experience. It is must visit for family, childrens do enjoy feeding Älg (Moose). There is play area and more farm animal for children to enjoy.
Special thanks to people who take care of the park. The guided tour in English with fabulous speech that has humor and information. Appreciate all the support through out safari experience.
As we know they are planning to expand the farm and park so second tour is already planned.
Thank you Virum Älgpark team. 🙏

Absolutely amazing experience. I was terrified at first, since I'm Canadian and we usually fear moose since they like to wander into roadways and cause problems. But the moose here were adorable, and real hungry for potatoes. Super friendly animals, and the staff were wonderful. Will definitely return if I'm ever back in the area.
Savana Thompson — Google review
It was amazing!
The moose come so close.
And you can touch and feed them. They are really friendly and don’t bite, if you do, what the guide says.
The guides are so good, treating the moose with respect and friendlyness.
The park is lovely, the moose can hide, if they don’t want to come. There is a lake for them as well.
The souvenir shop is lovely and they have sausages and ice.
Look at the days and safari times. It is not open every day. :-)
It was all in all a wonderful experience! And I am a critical person. ;-)
If it would be possible I would give 6 stars! :-)

11/10 experience. As someone who doesn’t come from a place where moose are popular, the tour was something very special. I would highly recommend. Kissing a moose was fun too. The staff is very kind, the gift shop has something for everyone, and it didn’t feel super touristy.

Marc Baeuerle — Google review
This requires some effort to get there and get there at a fixed hour. You get on a trains of wagons pulled by a tractor. You can have a sausage before or after. On the wagon it is possible to sit on top or regularly inside, each position with advantages and disadvantages. The mooses will come to eat potatoes from your hands, then you watch the feeding time. The mooses have been accustomed to people since calves, so a bit unnatural, they are like pets for this show.

Great experience! A fantastic tour where you're allowed to get close to the King of the forest and even feed them from your hands. Very helpful staff. Can really recommend this if you'd want to do something different.
Kalmar Castle is a seaside palace built in the 16th century on the site of a 12th-century castle. It boasts fairy-tale-like turrets, a drawbridge, and secret passages that add to its charm. The castle has exhibitions that showcase its 800-year history, including its role as an important building in the land at one time. Visitors are free to explore the castle on their own or take part in guided tours included in their admission fee.
Great place to enjoy your weekend. The castle faces the Baltic Sea and offers a sense of tranquility to anyone who visits the area. There is a lovely restaurant inside that offers lovely treats for fika.

It’s one of the best castles in south of Sweden. Good part is, they have guides included in tickets itself. The guides are hired by castle and they wear ancient clothes belonging to that time and look really pretty. Guides don’t rush and explain all the things which are right now present and which were destroyed by time. Except castle, there is not much in Kalmar city.

While the castle itself is a splendid sight with its rich history and captivating architecture, the downside is the mandatory entry fee of 100kr, even if you only intend to dine at their restaurant or browse through the store. It's disheartening that visitors are compelled to pay for entry regardless of their interests, adding an unexpected cost to what should be a simple visit. Despite this, if you're willing to overlook the entrance fee policy, the castle offers a unique and picturesque experience.

Andrew Bruton — Google review
Kalmar is one of the most enigmatic castles to visit. Much of the beauty is in the natural surroundings. The castle faces the Baltic sea. The water keeps it calm & dreamy. From the parking area, you first walk through a grave site that feels more like an immaculate garden with very tall trees. Even the courtyard inside the castle was vibrant & charming. Overall, every angle of this place is picturesque. It wasn't as touristy as expected. Spend a day here & enjoy the peace.

It's really interesting. The staff dressed in Tudor clothes. Information panels in Swedish and English. Only half an hour to spare, so they let us in for half price. Models of the castle at different times in history.

The tallest lighthouse in Sweden: 41,6 m, 197 steps to the top, built in 1785. You can climb up to see the interior and have great views from the top: the southern tip of Öland, cows and sheep roaming freely, long stone walls, a lot of clear space. This destination is extremely popular for birdwatching.
Current visiting fee is 50 SEK (children 20 SEK). Tickets are sold in Naturum next to the lighthouse or in the lighthouse (cash only).

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.

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.

The lighthouse at the south of the island with an interesting history.
Access to the lighthouse - 50SEK. Don't go in without ticket! You can buy one in Naturbutiken i Ottenby. This building is on the left side when you are walking in the direction to the Långe Jan.
This place is great to observe the birds. Check the weather before you come here, it can be really windy!

Stephen Flannery — Google review
Bird watchers paradise. The southern tip of Öland is not only famous for Swedens tallest lighthouse (which you can climb to the top of) but also a bird watch research station. More or less all of the migrating birds of Sweden pass here on their way south or north. Loads of seals can be seen from the shore and there is also a very good restaurant for something to eat or drink. It is also the perfect spot for both sunrise and sunset
The Marinmuseum is a contemporary and family-friendly waterfront museum that showcases the history of the Swedish navy with an emphasis on naval vessels. The museum features exhibits such as a battle deck reconstruction, an impressive collection of figureheads, model boats, and real-life warships including HMS Vastervik and Swedens royal sloop. The highlight of the museum is its submarine exhibition which includes an underwater tunnel showcasing a wreck. There is also a restaurant serving delicious meals at reasonable prices.
Interesting muzeum presenting the history of Swedish navy in really attractive way. And totally free!
The only thing that needs imrovement is turning off light or just darkening it in the underwater section. Then, the wreck would be more visible.
Adrian Peplak — Google review
Very informative and interesting spot. A family adventure. Be there before 14.00 can be recommended as there are actions for kids that end at 15.00. The wrak tunnel was disappointing as too dirty to see anything but green water.
Andrea Hahn — Google review
Absolutely adorable place, the best maritime museum I’ve ever visited. The most interesting parts are definitely the underwater route where you can see real ship wrecks from XVIII century! And of course you can enter the real submarine! The museum would be a good place for kids too, coz there are things they can touch (which is amazing, right?!) and there’s a great playground inside.
Also consider eating at bistro downstairs: good Swedish food on budget.
The one improvement I’d suggest is the mobile app: it’d be great if audio files open automatically when you approach the next stop. Some files are a bit too long, and when you visit the museum with kids you can barely spend few minutes next to each stand.

The museum tells stories in every possible way, it’s super entertaining, interactive, and full of information that will make you understand and enjoy Swedish naval history. It’s friendly for the whole family, from children to adults. I think it’s useful to arrive early and start with the submarines, so you will have time for the rest including visiting the centre of Karlskrona for a farewell ice cream.
Juan P. Velasquez — Google review
Wonderful, wonderful place! I honestly didn't expect this museum to be so HUGE! You really need a few hours to see everything and take it all in. There's an authentic submarine that you can visit, there's also a part in the museum that allows you to go under the sea level and see an authentic shipwreck and if you're lucky, spot some sea critters (I've seen some very curious fish :D). The museum is filled with history and stories, you can experience by yourself how it is to row a huge ship or sit down and learn how to tie a different types of knots. I can't recommend it enough! It is definitely worth visiting!

This museum is a best place, not only to know about naval history but to experience the same. You can go in to a submarine.

You also can enjoy some good views around the museum.

Valie “akavalie” Wallsköld — Google review
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.

Really great for kids. You can just let them run around and tell them where to meet you in a couple hours. Many different activities that are fun. You can make your own paper, play with remote control boats and many other things. There was also a cinema, but we didn't go to it. The outside part was also nice, and had many different things to do as well. Recommend it to people with kids aged 10-14.

The Dino's we're not present this was a little disappointment but in rest the kids where happy, it was fun.
A total of 4-5 hour of exploring, learning.
A beautiful place to go for outing. This island deserves your whole day. It's lovely! It has got a lot of attractions (only if you love nature). No matter from which point you look around, the view is always amazing. It has everything you look for, in an island. Highly recommended.
Must wear comfortable shoes to enjoy the fullest.

The world's first IKEA Museum is located in Almhult, occupying the site of the first IKEA store. The museum showcases a range of hands-on exhibits, vintage catalogues, and furniture that narrate the journey of Ingvar Kampar from vision to manifestation. It is an ideal destination for design enthusiasts, aspiring entrepreneurs and those who love IKEA products. The displays are cool and retro with a product-rich environment that mimics the brand's famous layout.
This was fantastic. We travelled from Australia so definitely had to put this on our ‘to do’ list. It was so interesting seeing the origins of where IKEA came from. Some fun interactive stuff as well as lots of interesting reading. We spent nearly 2 and a half hours in the museum. Highly recommend.

Interesting temporary and permanent exhibitions about IKEAs history, its founder, Design Democracy, Swedish households and early challenges and more.
Different media and designs are being presented. There's a photo setup to take pictures like in an IKEA catalogue and some rooms that come upside down from the ceiling. There's a store with some nice brand souvenirs.
The restaurant is great, very inexpensive with free hot and cold drinks and laid our for kids.

I’m not Swedish but I enjoyed this place. My Swedish friend was more familiar with exhibits. I didn’t. Well, I have been aware of IKEA since late 90s.
Coffe and water included with the ticket (60 SEK).
After the museum we sat down and had a bite. I took herrings and meatballs. Famous meatballs. Heaven in my mouth.
The museum is based in the first ever ikea store opened in 1958. In 2012 they moved the store nearby and opened a museum 4 years later.

Interesting museum to visit, it costs only 60 kr, including free tea/coffee at the restaurant. The building consists of 3 floors full of informative history and interactive activities. Highly recommended to come with family, children can also be part of the games they provided. Food on the restaurant also different from the normal IKEA restaurant. They have herring menu!

Definitely a must-see place in Sweden. The history section about the company and how it was changing might have been prepared better. I miss a section when they could have showed how a product developed over the years, from metal, through plastic to wooden structure. The guide through the decades should have been one after the other but you can move from 50s to 90s directly.

Makes for a nice visit to kill some time, especially for the low price! Exhibitions were mixed static and interactive but plenty to do and see, even for children. We had the most fun with the set up that allowed you to shoot and print your own copy of the IKEA catalogue cover.

Went here with my husband. Had food in the restaurant and then went to see the exhibits. There weren’t too many people so that was nice. They have some interactive activities you can do which are fun. We learned a lot that we didn’t know about and enjoyed our visit there. If any of our friends comes to visit and we are in the area I think we would take them to see it.
The gift shop was also nice and had good prices of course. We bought somethings there.

I visited IKEA museum for the third time and this year the exhibitions are much more interactive. You see how deep is the IKEA concept including many important aspects like sustainability, responsible sourcing and many more. In this visit, I liked Our Roots exhibition the most. Here you can experience village life like moving a stone, weaving or making a butter.

Indoor & outdoor art installations on a sprawling rural site with an organic farm & medieval castle.
Make sure that you have time to spend here at least 2-3 hours. It's a big park and the sculptures are quite far from each other. Some pieces are wonderful and perfectly built. Some are difficult to find but overall, we had a great time and experience. It's a really big area.

Great park to wander through! Nice artwork, nature, and the villa looks great too. Sculptures have a sign with good information about the piece. Some are interactive as well. It was kind of unclear whether it is free entrance or not. You could walk right in, but there's a bit (I think inside of the buildings) that requires a ticket. Great place for an outdoor afternoon on a sunny day!

Modern art combined with nature walk. A large park where you can stroll and be entertained / shocked / intrigued / moved / engaged by art. I recommend at least 2-3 hours to explore the park. The restaurant at Wanås has very nice food, don't miss the opportunity to eat there!
Tibor V. Varga — Google review
Wanås is great, had my second visit since two years and I really think they have it pulled together - wonderful park with many sculptures, ranging from absolutely wonderful thought-provoking to some less interesting.
My recommendation is to throw away the map and just walk in the direction you feel like. Some pieces are quite well hidden especially when greenery takes over in the summer. Most installations are very sturdy so it’s great for kids as well.
No matter how incredibly unfair an historical entailed estate is. I still have to give it to Wanås bringing something back to the public. If you pay the fee (of course)

Ales stenar is a fascinating and secluded attraction in Skane, Sweden. It consists of a 1400-year-old ship-shaped monument constructed from 59 large stones perched on a hill by the sea. This impressive setting is Sweden's largest stone-ship formation and can be reached via bus from Ystad or by foot after visiting Valleberga kyrka. Guided tours are available through Ystad's tourist office.
Truly a sight to see. Monuments are very unique and thought provoking. The scenery over the cliffs are amazing. During off season do not expect any food or facilities open near by.

It is a place full of beauty. Nature and knowledge together. I was thinking about that population that bring the rocks. They created a calendar. I imagine the difficulty because it would be hard even today. Visit ales stenar is be part of science and humans history. Read about before. Reserve time to enjoy the view. During summer you can buy lunch before go up, in winter time almost every restaurant is closed. If you visit in the cold season bring water/coffee and small snack.

In January month, I decided to spend the weekend leading up to my birthday at Ales Stenar, a couple of cold winter days with snow and freezing winds that turned out to be an exceptional experience for me and my son of six years old.
The day we went uphill to see these ancient monoliths, we were blessed with a fantastic sunny weather, so we also explored the surrounding area that offered an array of stunning vistas and easy walking paths.
I definitely recommend a visit to this site because it makes you wonder and admire the mysteries and incredible achievements of ancient civilisations on this part of the Planet.

A well maintained ancient 'monument'
Quite popular so some might like to get there early
It's all open and free, children enjoy climbing on the stones. All to the backdrop of lovely sea views to one side and rolling hills on the other sides.
Well worth a visit. Inexpensive friendly 2hr bus service.
Local village has all the services of a clean well run harbour holiday hotspot.
And the unisex toilets ther are an exemplar.
Self-driven & mini-train trips through a forest wildlife park home to native moose & American bison.
Our holiday home in Småland is not far from Markaryd, but we only managed to visit the park last summer.
Our conclusion: Absolutely recommendable!
Very nice and well-kept area and absolutely suitable for adults and children. There is also a nice café, restaurant and souvenir shop.

Well guided safari, several moose that come to the car to be petted. Great experience for kids and adults alike. I would recommend to go with their train instead of the personal car, so the kids can touch the animals and pet them.
There are male, female and young moose as well as 🦬. It was a very adventurous morning for the whole family.
It was pretty crowded...
Nice shop, restaurant and Cafe.
There's a nice playground and picnic area with a grill.

The company is professionally designed. Everything is well organised. The staff is very friendly and there is enough space in the car park and the restaurant. We were there in the pre-season and found that the elk area was already too busy. The course is probably one big traffic jam. Everything is actually well done. But it lacks a bit of soul and seems to have lost the focus on the moose.

The safari was a great visit for all. We were travelling across the country with our kids hockey team and they gave a special tour for us as they were meant to be closed on that day.
All of the kids LOVED the train ride and feeding both the moose and bison. And it seems some of the bison were also quite excited we were there too! 😆
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything so the kids could understand.
Very much appreciated and very recommended if you are in the area.

I don't know if we where lucky but we arrived on a saturday around 16:00 and the place was almost empty.

Great little safari. We stopped on the way between Malmo and Jonkoping and had a great time. There’s also a small goat petting area with super sweet Pygmy goats.
We did the safari with our own car but I would recommend you take the little train, it’s a few crowns more but you get handed some leaves to feed the animals which come up to the train, and you can even pet them (none of this is possible from your own car).

Very enjoyable! I was able to pet and even feed several moose and bison and learn more about their behavior.
Joey Mead — Google review
In case you don't get a chance to spot moose in the wild, this is the place to go to see some. The tour through the park can be either by train or in your own car, which allows you to make as many laps as you prefer. It's really great for visitors that almost every place in the park can be reached and seen, but for the animals it's probably not, since the overall area is quite small, don't get tricked by the "3 kilometer" tour.
In theory, you can drive through the park at your own pace and stop whereever and as long as you want, but there are only a few places where the road allows cars to pass each other, so you'll be in a hurry almost all the time as long as there are other visitors or the train driving through the park. This is better in the bison valley since the road is much wider there, but the more spectacular experience are definitely the moose.

We took 2 rounds with our car in the safari. It was around 1.30 pm. In the first round all moose were just sitting. In the second round two moose were standing up because people in the train were feeding the moose, then the moose sniffed on every car passing by. We really liked the experience!

Same great experience during påsk 2024.
Unique experience to meet Swedish Elk(Moose) and petting them in summer 2020.
Protected area that you can drive by your own car (on your own risk since animals are free and can make scratches on your car) or take tram going around.
I love it since animals where free and choose to come and say hello to you or just lay down and have rest.
Nost so expensive but check the rate on the website.
It has a nice resturant.
Most facilities were accessible with stroller and wheelchair.

One of the best experiences you can have in southern sweden! The park visit is very cheap, just 170 sek per person, and it is definitely worth it! It is possible to have a close contact with wonderful elks and american bisons, in a beautiful forest. If you don't have a car, for 200 sek it is possible to visit the park on a little train, which will give you the possibility to feed the animals too. Plus, visiting it in september, you can also see some elk calfs!
Giovanni Mauri — Google review
Great informative safari. Recommend going on n the train instead of driving yourself as you get lots of information from the guide, get to feed the moose and pet them, all things you don’t get to do when you drive yourself. Of course they are wild animals so you never know how they behave but the guide knows where to find them. There are also bison and goats.
Karl Lonn — Google review
Our only opportunity to see moose during our trip to Sweden. The park was really crowded. Cars had to queue and wait whenever the train stopped before them. The restaurant was excellent though. We had the most delicious köttbullar accompanied by soft and creamy potato mash, crunchy cucumber salad and savoury lingonberry sauce.

You could drive with your own car but I myself recommend you to go with the train from the zoo itself, the guide with you explained each of the inhabitants and if you’re lucky enough you can pet and feed them , don’t forget to try their waffles- fair price - absolutely worth each pennies you’ve spent

I'll never travel to Copenhagen without this trip planner again
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 !

amazing zoo! a huge area where animals are happy. Children are delighted. A great place to relax with the whole family. Everyone's favorites are lemurs, cute and charming. Arrogant ostriches, cheer up. An honorary pair of parrots were arguing and almost got into a fight! happy day for the whole family.

Very nice place to visit with kids. There is places to eat and you even can find a small pool which is great at a hot summer day.

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.

A nice zoo located in a nice part of Skane. A few dozen large animals as well as a tiny terrarium. Not too many predators. Servals and alligators being the main ones.
Going around the whole park won’t take you more than an hour, even if you spend a few minutes in each location.
While you’ll see most animals from distance, there are petting opportunities. Goats, mini pigs and even emus if you’re lucky.
Overall a nice place to spend an hour or so with kids.

Really big zoo to walk around in and a lot of animals! I love how huge the fields are for the animals, it makes it feel like a safari.
Annelijn Visser — Google review
More of a farm with exotic animals than a zoo. The animals look well looked after and the habitats are probably bigger than most other zoos. Definitely worth a visit and less morally questionable than many other zoos I’ve visited.

Nice zoo that particularly stands out in cleanliness and spaciousness. All animal accommodations appeared very clean and spacious. If you go for a lunch, the Swedish meatballs are really recommended.

Very nice zoo, perfect for toddler (below 5) because it is not super big size zoo yet its enough for them to see zebra, monkey, sheep, cow, pig, chicken (basic animals). Riding a pony its a plus too! It cost 30sek (cash)/round. There’s also some playground, and cafe.
Our complaint is only that the outdoor cafe area flooring is made from small stones which was quite irritated because not only its hard to push our stroller. The small kids are busy playing the stones (playing also meaning throwing the stones everywhere). Photo cafe area: with a small cart
Smygehuk, located in Skåne, Sweden, is a picturesque fishing village and harbor known for being the southernmost point of both Sweden and the entire Scandinavian Peninsula. The area features the iconic Smygehuk Lighthouse and Smygehuk Hostel to the west of the harbor. A notable landmark is a statue of a nude woman situated in the harbor. Visitors can experience the charm of this fishing village while taking in panoramic views from Smygehuk Lighthouse.
When it comes to Protestant churches, one cannot go wrong by visiting St. Peter's Church in Goran Olstagan. This historical church is steeped in history and features beautiful bright Romanesque inspired interiors that are sure to please visitors of all faiths. Besides its historical significance, the church also boasts charming displays, chandeliers, and sacred sculptures that make it a must-see for anyone visiting the area.
An interesting church to visit. The scavenger hunt for the stuffed rats was a cool experience to help see all of the church and learn about the various parts of the church and history behind them. I enjoyed touring it. The church seems very welcoming to all as well, including how welcoming the staff is to visitors

Great church with an amazing atmosphere. Most interesting is the oldest part of the building, with amazing frescoes.
Marcin Szyniszewski — Google review
A fun example of Northern European Brick Gothic architecture. And moreover some restoration of the work in the baptistry and remnants of the previous Catholic splendor certainly heighten the charm of this now protestant church. A great 10 minute exploration in the Malmö old Town circuit
Chris Oh! Boylesque — Google review
Very nice to see how they kept a small piece of the church in the original style, including the old fresco's and all other art. The rest of the church is quite "boring" after the Protestants removed most of the fresco's and statues, but as I said it's cool to be able to see the difference in style next to each other in the same building

St. Peter's Cathedral is a remarkable architectural gem. Its interior, though not symmetrical, exudes a unique charm and historical significance. I found the lack of symmetry to be intriguing, perhaps reflecting the diversity of Lutheran traditions and a departure from traditional church design. Despite my initial confusion, visiting St. Peter's Cathedral was a thought-provoking experience, showcasing the rich history and individuality of these northern Lutheran churches.
Andrei Vaganov — Google review
A beautiful old church in Malmö, where the old frescoes were painted over early 20th century. Luckily , a restoration effort laid them bare in the baptistery. It is quite anornatw church for a protestant church . The photos dont do it justice. There is a little area for children.Well worth a visit.

Really a nice church. Definitely a recommendation for malmö, even if you are not religious. Glass work is quite stunning and the main altar has a four staged building showing Christ. We were on Sunday after a mass and waited a couple of minutes. The atmosphere is also quite nice.

Nestled in the heart of Malmö, St. Peter’s Church stands as a testament to centuries of history and unwavering faith. As I stepped through its grand entrance, I was immediately struck by the sheer beauty and tranquility that enveloped me.

With its striking design and rich history dating back to the 14th century, the church stands as a testament to Malmø's cultural heritage. Whether you appreciate it for its religious significance, admire its Gothic architecture, or simply enjoy the tranquility it offers, St. Peter's Church adds a distinct charm to the cityscape.

Llamativa y espectacular por fuera, nads que ver por dentro.
Es muy bonita, muy alta y llama la atencion ese color rojizo tan bonito. Se aprecia la torre desde diferentes partes de la ciudad, pero cuando te aproximas a ella, es cuando aprecias lo imponente de la torre.
La entrada es gratis y dar una vuelta por ella de vuelta al tren no esta de mas

Striking and spectacular on the outside, nothing to see on the inside.
She is very pretty, very tall and that beautiful reddish color catches your attention. The tower can be seen from different parts of the city, but when you approach it, that is when you appreciate how imposing the tower is.
Admission is free and taking a walk around it on the way back to the train doesn't hurt.

It is a beautiful church in the city for the residents to worship the Lord. It is very neat and well maintained. One thing that caught most of my attention would be the piano they have. It was rather extraordinary in visual. I'd love to hear it plays in action. Too bad I didn't have the chance.

American POV: a beautiful church, clearly rich in history. I wish there were more descriptions/signs in English so I could understand more without requiring a tour guide. Visiting on a Sunday in November it was very quiet and not busy.
Looking for a delicious Italian meal in the heart of Malmo? Look no further than Lilla Torg, La Grappa! This charming square is full of restaurants that serve up some of the best Italian food around. So come and enjoy a taste of Italy in the beautiful city of Malmo!

Beutiful cozy cobblestone square in the Old Town part of Malmo. Full of restaurants and cafes for a nice break.

The steakhouse is located in the city center. The steak was juicy and perfectly prepared. Vegetables, sauce and fries are included in the price, and the price itself is extremely favorable for the city center, especially considering that it is Sweden. Unlike the food, the service was not that good. It was pointed out at the entrance that we should wait for the waiter to seat us at the table, but no one appeared for a long time. In the end, the waiter seated us at a table in the sun, although there were plenty of tables in the shade, but at our request we were moved to the shade.

Given the location is very good, lots of tourists in the summer, as always these places have food that is over priced.

Established in the 16th century, Lilla Torg is a small but very beautiful medieval Square, that is located about 230 metres from Town Hall. Paved with cobblestones and surrounded with pretty wooden houses, there are boutique Shops, Restaurants and outdoor Cafés within the Square. Emitting irresistible charms of yesteryear, it is understandable a hot tourist attraction. One photo attached.

A nice and cozy courtyard dining area. The service was decent and the food quite good. I had the fish n chips, which came relatively fast. The presentation felt a bit cheap, served on a metal with the food in a paper wrapping. There was however plenty of food.
MTXCLAN — Google review
Tourist trap, the food was completely overpriced, the steaks were dry, even though we asked for medium, and not at all tender, and for some weird reason tasted sweet, the garlic butter tasted of close to nothing.
The fries were not bad, but they were clearly just something put in the frier out of a bag.
For 550 sek for a steak with fries and a glass of the house wine i had expected much more.

I spent an evening there where the dinner doubled as a jaw workout; the food was tougher than my last gym session. The restroom? Let's just say I've encountered public toilets with a cleaner bill of health – a rare feat, indeed. It wasn't the worst dinner of my life, but in terms of value for money, it was a letdown of epic proportions. That cash could have been spent on far superior experiences.
Gergő Balogh — Google review
During my recent visit to Steakhouse Lilla Torg, I encountered several disappointing aspects that significantly impacted my dining experience.
Right from the start the visit was off to a rocky start when the staff seated us at a table, only to be approached shortly after by other guests who informed us that it was their table. This mix-up resulted in us being reseated by another staff member, setting a tone of disorganization for the evening.
The culinary flexibility at this establishment could have been much better, particularly regarding how their dishes, especially the Entrecote, were prepared. I was taken aback when informed that they could only cook it using rapeseed oil, with no alternatives like butter or olive oil available.
This restriction was a first for me at a steakhouse and significantly detracted from the dining experience I had anticipated. Not using seed oils for cooking is something more and more people are starting to realize and learn how bad it is for our health and how very inflammatory it is.
Furthermore, the service timing could have been more satisfactory. The wait for our meal to be served was unreasonably long, which suggested a lack of preparation or insufficient staffing. This inefficiency contributed to a less enjoyable meal experience and indicated areas requiring urgent management attention.
Given these experiences, it's challenging to recommend this Steakhouse to others. Despite the potentially inviting ambiance, the initial seating confusion, limited culinary options, and prolonged wait times overshadowed the potential for a pleasant dining experience.
I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the restaurant to make necessary improvements. Until noticeable changes are made, I will consider other dining venues in Malmö.

Even though Sweden is a costlier destination, but one can expect value for money. I have also visited the restaurant reading the reviews on internet, but big NO. Taste, Service, Customer friendlyness all below average.
Burger patty was having rotten taste. Steak was not cooked property.
We paid for 3 almost 200 Euro. Which doesn't fall to the service and quality. Nothing to recommend.
And in the name of vegetables sides with Steak, you will get some fried vegetables, which I believe from weeks. For sure not fresh vegetables.
King's Park in Malmo is a beautifully landscaped park with a cast iron fountain and cycling trails. It's a great spot for a picnic when the weather is fine, and there's also a casino nearby.
It's a huge city park. Hope you will enjoy your full day in this park.

Kings park is magnificent & atmospheric. It's a historic & beautiful English style city park with a cast iron fountain, windmill, bridges, lakes, botanical garden, a cafe in a greenhouse, & a castle in the end. Walk a little further & you will run into a beach. Oldest park in Malmo (built in 1800s). We spent most of the day here as a retreat & thoroughly enjoyed it.

A great place for walking, running, birdwatching or even celebrating a picnic (specially in summer). Not many modern cities in the world can presume of such beautiful and forest-like parks in the middle of the city; For me, they are one of the best things of living in Malmö.

During our visit to Kungsparken in Malmo, Sweden, we were treated to the beauty of a magnificent garden. The park boasts stunning lakes and expansive green spaces, providing a fantastic setting for leisurely walks and relaxation. Its close proximity to Malmo Castle further enhances the charm of the city. We were captivated by the panoramic views offered by the park, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the natural splendor. Kungsparken is a truly amazing place, and we highly recommend it for anyone seeking a serene and picturesque escape in Malmo.

Malmö Castle is a fortress built in the 1500s that now functions as a museum. It features exhibitions on local history, technology, and science. There is an aquarium within the castle complex that showcases the marine life around it.
Amazing! For just 2 euros we got to see the the aquarium, two museums and the castle walls. Totally worth it. We spent more than two hours here and we learned lots of new and interesting things

The entry fee is cheap and can be purchased in person only. No online tickets available.
We travelled from Copenhagen for a day trip. Absolutely worth it.

Another great example of Northern European Brick Gothic architecture... The castle grounds are a must see, and I'm sure are spectacular any time of year. The museum is a great little gateway into the medieval times with histories and explanations to the ever evolving landscape of Malmö. I reckon it is a must see for any castle aficionados.

It's a fun museum but the first part doesn't have translation in English ( maybe I didn't see the QR code but in that case it should be obvious so people could scan it ) and some other parts as well.
Most interesting part for me was the video about castle's history. It was very well made.

During our visit to Malmo Castle, we were transported back in time to witness its rich and storied history. Built in 1434, the castle stands as a remarkable testament to the past. It was a true feast for the eyes, showcasing exquisite architecture and captivating details. The entry fee of SEK 60, which included access to the museum, proved to be a worthwhile and reasonable investment. The staff members were incredibly helpful, ensuring a pleasant and informative experience. Parking was conveniently located nearby, making access to the castle hassle-free. Overall, our visit to Malmo Castle was nothing short of amazing, allowing us to delve into the fascinating history of the Malmo dynasty.

Like, the Aquarium was cool and a couple of artworks. But other than that there was totally bad artworks, don't get me wrong but this "modern" art is not worth it. But i liked the art, mostly. But yes the first part was quite good with the animals but other than that I don't think it's worth it.

Not quite the castle vibe that you’d expect. They had an aquarium which was really nice. The art gallery is also something interesting to see, but the actual castle looks a bit unorganized and lacks the interesting historical facts and stories about it. I wasn’t impressed, but you might like it.

Very nice tour, entrance is for 60 dkk,and it is worth it, a small historical review of Malmo city and the conflict between Malmo and Copenhagen, the castle tour is well done,i liked particularly the prison area, there s also the museum of art wich was fine, you can also enjoy the aquarium especially if u have kids so they can see different fish species and underwater world.
I highly recommend it.
Tropikariet is a spacious indoor center that houses diverse exotic animals from various regions such as Africa and South America. It is an ideal place for children to explore and learn about different species of animals, fish, insects, and reptiles. The facility also includes a restaurant and a fossil search area where kids can have fun looking for ancient treasures in the sand.
The staff does a great job. All animals look healthy and happy. Recommend for all ages. There is plenty of parking and you can have some food here. There are places to park prams, but you can also walk around with them as there is an elevator. Remember to dress lightly because it's very warm inside. There is wardrobe room for jackets.
Staff will let you pet some of the creatures. There is even fish tanks that you can dip your hand in.
Plan to spend here max 3 hours.

The biggest surprise of our trip to Helsingborg was how incredible Tropikariet was! 😍 We had quite low expectations and when we saw the entry price we felt it was a bit high, but when we then saw the incredible animals and wonderful exhibits, we completely felt that it was worth it all! 🙏 There are a lot of free roaming animals and plenty of things to see and touch.😄 Everyone was very friendly and they take great care of their animals 👏We had a blast for two hours and could probably spend even more time there next time. 😀

Swedens tropical indoor zoo is an absolute delight & breathtaking. Me & my family had a great time. You get to see the gifts of nature caged in & a few harmless ones walking by at close range. As a visitor, you aren’t allowed to feed or carry them.
I can honestly say that kids & adults alike, will love to see the beauty of the gift of nature at this place… You will see reptiles, insects, a number of sea life creatures, birds & more. Oh, & there’s eats, either on arrival or before you check out at a fair price.

We were taken by surprise when entering the place, it's so spacious and smartly designed for customers to explore.
All the animals look comfortable enough, some can fly and play freely in open spaces.
And the ants just might their own business marching around the building. Impressive!
If you go with kids, prepare to be there all day long.
an interesting place to visit. Highly recommended

Kärnan is a well-preserved 35-meter tower that once served as part of a medieval castle. Located in close proximity to the city center, visitors can enter for a small fee and explore the various floors which feature a small museum showcasing the tower's history. The view from the top offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area. Additionally, Kärnan features a beautiful park that surrounds it, perfect for those seeking some peace and relaxation amidst nature.
A renovated tower from the 1100s. There's a nice park around it and it's very close to the city center. To go into the tower you pay a small fee of 60SEK per adult. Inside there's a small museum on the different floors you can visit and the view from the top is amazing.

The remnants of an old medieval castle on the coast of Helsingborg, this castle is visible as you leave the ferry terminal. The area is very well preserved, and one can have a pleasant stroll around the area of the castle. The best time to go is early in the morning when all is quiet and not many people are around, and you can do some great photo shooting around the castle.

Been here in July. There was a food festival in the square below the tower.
It’s not difficult going up the tower, also because it’s possible to have few stops at the 4 floors that are worth a visit.
We found some information of the tower on the internet and read them at each floor. There is a terrace on the top where you can take cool pictures of the town.

I visited Helsingborg and saw Kärnan while walking around the city at night. From the first steps of the stairs the view is absolutely amazing. Especially because of the time of the day the lights really made it look astonishing. We walked up the stairs and got a look at the tower and a view of the city from above. A must see when visiting Helsingborg.

The entrance was a bit pricey, 100 sek per person. The entrance has the booth for the tickets inside the building and a little place to play games with a few things you can buy.
We went as a group of four and enjoyed it quite a bit, we stayed playing a game on the first floor for about 30 minutes, it was very fun. Another floor also has games, which we did not play as we lacked time.
There are also lots of posters and even a protection that explains the history of the tower and Helsingborg.

Out of shape Americans beware! Heh heh. I made it up to the top fine but stopped at each floor on the way up. There's a little something to check out on each floor so it worked out as intended I think. View up top is lovely (but hold onto your hat, it was quite windy when I visited). The history is intriguing and all info was in both Swedish and English.

Very amazing and beautiful place. We drove from Malmo to helsingborg to see this place and it was worth a ride. You get to see beautiful tower with some beautiful views. Nive garden around. There is nominal entry fee for visiting in the tower. A great place to spend time with friends and family.
The Oresund Bridge is a huge bridge that links Sweden and Denmark across the Sound. It's a long combined railway and road bridge that spans 8 kilometers to the man-made island of Peberholm, before turning into a tunnel to cross to Copenhagen.
Passed under the Øresund Bridge... Good to watch bridge architecture from sea... Railway track built beautifully below the road... Great experience👍

02-05-2024 they charge 63€ per pass (6m car), it is hard to find info on the fees. The bridge itself is fantastic.

Commuter train from København H, (Copenhagen Central Station) is every 20 minutes and only takes 35 minutes to reach Malmö central station. Just bought tickets from station costs around £11 day return. Very comfortable train journey with great views.

Must see if you are in Copenhagen or Malmö. It’s a great architecture project, very unique. We crossed it by train and it was an exciting impression:)

A very good and useful thing for Sweden and Denmark. You can get from Malmo to Copenhagen by train in 40 minutes. You can see the sea and windmills when crossing the bridge.

What else to say than that the Øresund-bridge is the best way to get to Sweden? Smooth and majestic ride across the strait, never experienced any delaying traffic or similar.
This Christmas, when storm Pia was visiting the region, the bridge was closed for a few hours, but my feeling is it is rather flexible when it comes to opening in different weather conditions.

Super simple and easy to cross it,you just have to download the bridge app and you will cross it without any problem, and cheaper too.

A masterpiece of engineering and its wonderful appearance is a real experience to drive on it!
The Öresund Bridge or Øresund Bridge (Danish Øresundsbroen, Swedish Öresundsbron) is a combined road-rail bridge over the Øresund Strait. The bridge connects the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, with Malmö in Sweden, and more broadly, Scandinavia with Central and Western Europe.
The European highway E20 passes through the bridge. Passenger and freight transport takes place on its double-track railway track. With a length of 7,845 meters, the bridge is the longest road-railway bridge in Europe. The bridge itself accounts for about half of the distance between the two coasts, the rest is bridged by the artificial island called Peberholm (4055 m), the tunnel leading from there to the Danish side (4050 m) and the artificial peninsula established on the Danish side (430 m). The bridge was handed over on July 1, 2000 by II. Queen Margaret of Denmark and XVI. King Gustav Károly of Sweden.

Beautiful and important bridge uniting two scandibavian countries! I wish the visitors center had been cleaner though (cigarette butts and garbage everywhere).

I had my flight from Gothenburg to Koppenhagen, but a friend of mine suggested I take the train and experience the Øresund Bridge.
Also escape the nonsense of going hours early to airport and paying exorbitant rates for taxi.
Did take the train. Unfortunately it got delayed and I was disappointed.
But my disappointment was balanced by the ride over Øresund Bridge.
A mini Golden Gate, except that in this case it connects 2 countries Sweden and Denmark.
Truly an inspiring experience with all the respect to the engineers who designed and built it.
Sharing some pics for others to appreciate it. But nothing like experiencing it.

The Øresund Bridge in Malmo is nothing short of an engineering marvel and an iconic symbol of connectivity and innovation. Spanning across the beautiful waters of the Øresund Strait, this bridge is a testament to human ingenuity and architectural prowess.
One of the most striking aspects of the Øresund Bridge is its stunning design. The elegant, sweeping curves and sleek lines of the structure create a sense of grace and beauty that perfectly complements the surrounding natural landscape.
But beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Øresund Bridge serves a crucial purpose, connecting Sweden and Denmark in an efficient and convenient way. It has not only made travel between these two countries more accessible but has also fostered economic and cultural ties, making it a symbol of unity and cooperation.
Whether you're driving across the bridge, taking a train, or simply admiring it from a distance, the Øresund Bridge is an awe-inspiring sight that leaves a lasting impression. It's a remarkable testament to human achievement and a must-visit landmark for anyone traveling to the region.

It’s a wonderful bridge connecting between Sweden 🇸🇪 and Denmark 🇩🇰, the design is amazing because it’s going under the water, great feeling and nice experience if it’s your first time seeing such beautiful bridge 🌉, also great choice for architecture and landscape and landmark photographs to capture a very special photo with long exposure

Took the train from Copenhagen to Gothenburg today. Less than 1/2 price of flying and almost same amount of time without all the airport security hassle.

Beautifull way to move from Danemark, to Sweden with a quick and easy cross border, no need to come too early before the departure

Oresund bridge was the main initial reason why we went on city brake in Malmo and Copenhagen. Amazing construction solution and main theme in Netflix' crime tv drama "The Bridge".

What a stunning bridge. If you go from Sweden to Denmark you have to cross the bridge. Plan that there is a fee in the bridge. You can buy combo tickets if you also take a ferry to Germany or elsewhere back. Also buy an online pass or just go there and pay at a service station and get the Maut right there. It’s 55€ so far. You can not walk or bike over the bridge. But the view is stunning crossing it from both sides. Worth going to Sweden by car.
