Malmö; Saturday, 11 April, 2015

I had a leisurely breakfast in the hotel before heading out to the station and out of town for the day.

The next big town (ignoring the Danish Capital the opposite side of the Øresund), less than 25Km from Malmö is Lund which is home to a large university and a cathedral, so I suppose on the British scale that makes it a full city.

The train took a full 10 minutes to make the journey and from the station I wandered into the centre of town to have a look around, stopping off at the spectacular cathedral.

From the Cathedral I continued to wander through town in a big loop, eventually finding myself by Kulturen the city’s open-air/folk/ethnographic museum dedicated to preserving traditional buildings from the Skåne and surrounding regions.

I spent a lot longer than I expected wandering round the small, but very full site. By the time I left it was fast approaching 3pm so I headed back over to the Cathedral to see the Astronomical clock in action (it only runs twice a day and I’d missed the earlier show). In the end it wasn’t really worth going back for.

From the cathedral I headed through the city and over to the botanical gardens to have a look around.

After the botanical gardens, and a stop for a coffee in the centre of town, I headed back to the station to catch the train back into Malmö.

I stopped off at the hotel to freshen up and then headed back out into town to look for some dinner as I’d realised that despite the large breakfast the lack of lunch was becoming noticeable!
