Southern Sweden is a nest of coastal provinces, extensive lake and forest regions, gracefully ageing cities and superb beaches. Much of the area, especially the southwest coast, is the target of Swedish holiday-makers, with a wealth of campsites and cycle tracks yet retaining a sense of space and tranquility as well as plenty of historical and cultural high points. The grandest coastal city is Gothenburg , Sweden's charming second city and well deserving of far more exploration beyond its gargantuan shipyards than the traditional post-ferry exodus allows.

South of here, Helsingborg , a stone's throw from Denmark, and Malmo , still solidly sixteenth century at its centre, are both worth a day or two each for their charismatic charms, and Lund , a medieval cathedral and university town, is a

convenient and enjoyable point between the two. To the east, the historic fortress town of Kalmar is a less obvious target than the south coast resorts, but repays a stop on the southern routes to and from Stockholm. Close by, the island of Gotland has long been a domestic tourist haven for its climate, beaches and stunning medieval Hanseatic capital, Visby , and is easy and inexpensive to reach by ferry from Nynashamn, south of Stockholm, and Oskarshamn, further south still.
