Southern Region

Southern Sweden is easily travelled and since the opening of Oresund, a bridge between Denmark & Sweden, the gap between the two neighbouring countries has become negligible.

Southern Sweden is often referred to as the cradle of Swedish design, especially in the district of Småland. The famous Kingdom of Crystal in Småland has become one of Sweden's most popular tourist destinations.

All over southern Sweden there are about 200 historically and culturally fascinating castles, chateaus and manor houses from various historic eras that are well worth visiting. Many of these castles have been lovingly transformed into hotels, conference facilities and retreats, offering stylish and historic accommodation.

Welcome to southern Sweden!

Malmo

Sweden's third major city has prospered thanks to its role as major area of trade. It is southern Sweden's largest town with 270, 000 people and is located adjacent the Øresund Strait. From a historical point of view, it has proved to be an important area in both trade and defence. Stone structures from the Middle Ages, such as Malmö castle (Malmö hus), are still standing, and the city is full of history and sightseeing spots.

With the opening of the Øresund Bridge connecting the area with neighbouring Demark, it is expected to become an even more important point for transportation.
