Trelleborg is situated in the province of Skane and is the southernmost city in Sweden. Here you can enjoy outdoor adventures, white sand beaches and charming marinas.

Treat yourself to a holiday in Trelleborg, where you can go outdoor swimming, but also explore the picturesque streets and squares in the city Whether you want to delve into history, culture or stunning countryside, you will be in the right place.

Trelleborg is a fascinating holiday destination as it is one of Skane's oldest cities. The name stems from a certain type of Viking Age fortress known as a trelleborg. Trelleborgen is the only remaining Viking fortress on Swedish soil. In the summer you can watch live theatre on site.

Book a weekend in Trelleborg and amble through the Medieval town, where beautiful historical buildings can be seen near Gamla Torg. Visit Axel Ebbes Konsthall and admire works by the district's great sculptor. Then stroll along to Trelleborgs Museum where there are art exhibitions on various themes, such as the Stone Age. You can climb to the top of Vattentornet, the water tower which is an iconic sight, as well as a great observation deck where you can enjoy spectacular views.

Make sure to pay a visit to Smygehuk, the southernmost point in Sweden. The stunning cape east of Trelleborg is surrounded by stony shores. You will always be close to a white sand beach, as the municipality has 35 kilometres of coastline. If want to feel the ocean air brushing your face, visit the villages Gislov, Skare or Smygehamn and go for a boat trip.

The coastal location has always been advantageous, as Trelleborg has been an important transportation hub in the Baltic Sea. From here the ferry service is frequent, which is useful if you want to continue your holiday on the continent. Buses and the Pagatagen Trains are reliable, but there are also great bicycle paths, so why not explore the area on two wheels?

Although trips to Trelleborg are most popular during the summer months, the sights and activities are available all seasons. If you book a weekend package to Trelleborg you can soak up all of the delights it has to offer.
