Ystad

Ystad is known to Poles mainly due to the regular ferry connection with Świnoujście . A small town with medieval roots enchants with a fairy-tale atmosphere created by narrow cobbled streets, colorful houses and half-timbered buildings. For crime fiction lovers, Ystad is the setting for Henning Mankell's iconic Inspector Wallander books.

For whom?

Although Ystad undoubtedly has its charm, few people choose it as the main goal of a trip to Sweden . However, if you find yourself on a ferry to Ystad on your way inland, make a stop for a few hours to get a glimpse of this fairy-tale town. It is also a great place for a base for those planning to explore Skåne by bike or car, who prefer to avoid the crowds of a large city . The atmospheric streets with tiny, well-preserved buildings from centuries ago make the city seem unreal. In summer, it is worth visiting the rose garden by the City Museum and taking a trip to the nearby Ales Stenar.
