2019 Spring: Sweden: Where to go in Lund

Sweden: Where to go in Lund

Inspired by the recent trip from Alvin Elchico in Europe, I have included Lund on my short trip to Sweden.  Lund is more of the young vibe since most of the population are students.  However, this does not mean that there are more night life.  As the night light stay, most of the shops and restaurants shuts early.

From Copenhagen Central Station, Track 6, I rode a train going to Lund.

Tip: Make sure to read the carriage and the seat, ensure that this is not a First Class or reserve carriage that is more expensive than a regular one.  Also, if you prefer to make some noise, ensure that you are not in the silent car.

For Lund, better to get a ticket.  But for Malmo, you can tap-in/out with your rejsekort card.

Itinerary

Go to the Lund Domkyrka (Cathedral)  and wait for the 12 o'clock strike of the clock.  The clock show will last in less than 15 seconds, so do not expect for more.

Please be advised that there is an actual Lutheran mass service at this hour, so be discreet.

Outside the church at the Domkyrkoplatsen (Cathedral Square), locals would normally have their snacks enjoying the rays of the sun.

There's a take away meal store along Stora Södergatan known as Lundafalafel.  I noticed that there is a long queue on this place, so might as well have a taste of Falafelrulle (regular at 35 SEK, extra large at 40 SEK), deep fried chickpea balls.

Head back to Stortorget (Great Square) in front of City Hall, to sit and enjoy both the view and your tasty food.

Next, head north-east of the city to reach Kulturen (kulturen.com), a historical 2-block open-air museum.

Apart from enjoying the buildings outside, there are also exhibitions, artifacts, programs inside the buildings.

Enjoying the flora and classic architecture of old houses and buildings in Kulturen.

Bosebo Church

Stopping by the famous Library facade in Lund University.  What's interesting in here is that they have wisteria vines hanging on the walls. [Read: Why I fell in love with wisteria?] 

Passing by Botanical Garden before heading back to central area.

I missed going to Lund Saluhallen (Market Hall) that closes early on weekends, thus I was diverted to just have pastries on Ramklints Konditori Eftr AB (confectioner's shop) on Mårtenstorget.

As the sunlight strikes at late night, stores started to shutdown and people bike back home.
