Discover Sweden

Vacation in Skåne - not only for Wallander fans

Your holiday in Sweden's southern most region Skane (Skåne) you can design in many different ways - combining a classic summer resort by the sea, as hearty holiday in a log cabin on private lake, or a city break in Malmo (Malmö), Lund and Helsingborg, with trips to the Kingdom of Crystal. You can also simply enjoy a few lazy days at sea in the picturesque coastal town or Mölle Torekov.

Malmö

In the past decade, Malmo (Malmö) has undergone a radical, post-industrial change. The cosmopolitan city has its shore "recaptured" in which a new and lively district was created with interesting architecture. Nevertheless, Malmo remains a small, manageable and comfortable city in which everything is within walking distance. The Western Harbour in Malmö is brand new district, which is characterized by fantastic architecture, green spaces and a unique view of the Sound.

Lund

The emerging university town in the south already has to offer with its student flair (one in three people are enrolled at the local university) and the rich cultural offer plenty of room for discovery. Here we also find the oldest cathedral in Scandinavia from the year 1103. Many shops and cafes invite you to stroll and relax in the city and the beautiful surroundings.

The journey from London to Sweden by Flixbus

All Flixbus’ coaches have on-board toilet and washroom facilities, reclining seats and air-conditioning as standard. Sometimes the coach that picks you up from your departure point has only the final destination displayed on the front windscreen. This is because the majority of Flixbus routes include multiple stops and it would be impractical to display every stop on the front windscreen. Also, you may have booked a journey which requires a change of coach. In both examples, please ask the driver to confirm that his/her coach is going to the destination stated on your ticket. Flixbus put the safety and comfort of passengers first, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards. The operators are using modern vehicles with large panoramic windows and increased legroom.

Single and return tickets (with the indicated date and time) are for a specific journey, you cannot miss the departure, because you will lose the ticket.
Best to buy tickets well in advance. Flixbus has many discounts for those who decide to purchase tickets in advance. Constant, although a slight discount is provided for youth, elderly and disabled people. Up to 50% discount is provided for children. Unless you get a good promotional fare, return fares are much cheaper than two single fares each way.

Sea crossings

This route involves a sea crossing which, depending on which service you are on, will either by Eurotunnel or by ferry (check timetables for specific information). On arrival at the ferry port or Eurotunnel terminal customers will be required to disembark from the coach and pass through both UK and destination country Border Control offices and show their Passports. Normally customers are not required to be accompanied by their luggage, however occasionally Border Control officials do require customers to take their own luggage with them.

Travel insurance

The best way to protect against unexpected accidents is to buy travel insurance. In my opinion, so that the journey is stress-free, you should never travel without travel insurance. You can insure only for travel, it’s possible directly on the Flixbus website, during ticket purchase. You can also insure individually with another insurer. This will be the insurance that will apply during the journey and while in a foreign country. The insurance should cover: loss of cash and goods, cancellation of travel and medical treatment abroad. If you travel several times a year and want to save money, you may want to buy an annual insurance policy. Click here to buy insurance.
