With its frosty mornings, Christmas lights and genuine, festive atmosphere, where better to spend the run-up to Christmas than in south Sweden and Skåne? With something for everyone, and some of Europe’s best Christmas markets, you can buy hand-made goods, drink mulled wine, talk to a Scandinavian Santa, eat gingerbread and buy those mittens you’ve been looking for.

From dark, dense primeval forests, megalithic monuments, to the gorgeous gold of the rapeseed fields, you’ll witness stunning beauty from a whole host of fantastic locations. The Skåneleden trail offers experiences for all the senses.

Famous for its white beaches, crystal clear waters and quaint seaside villages along the coast, Southwest Skåne features open landscapes and views that stretch for miles. Add a reconstructed Viking settlement, thirteen golf courses within a short drive and you’re in for a great holiday.
