Ängelholm Travel Guide

 Sjalen Says:  The lovely old town hall from 1775 in the main square today houses the tourist information. It became too small for the town in 1896. 

 Sjalen Says:  Hantverksmuseet is open all year round and shows local Ängelholm ceramics. There is also a collection of silverware. There are also temporary art exhibitions. The interesting thing to me though, is that the museum is housed in the old town jail. Don't miss the riverside... 

 Sjalen Says:  Hembygdsparken is a piece of land by the river set aside for old heritage buildings like the Grönvallska gården and the Luntertungården (Ängelholm's oldest building from 1761). There is also a technical museum with motorbikes and other things, a school museum, and a mix of... 

 Sjalen Says:  Ängelholm has had an air base (F10) for years and these days, it has opened as a museum. You get to see some fighter planes, helicopters and different engines and can also try look at an underground radar survelliance room and climb into the seat of a "Draken" plane. If you... 

 Sjalen Says:  Ängelholm has not always had its centre this far inland. There has been a church on this site since mid 16th century and if you want to see the ruins of the earlier church, you have to head for Luntertun on the way to the beach. This new church is from 1861 (but with later...

 Sjalen Says:  Out by the beach is this nice bar and restaurant with a summery feel to it as you sit beneath the little palms. As it is by the pleasure boat harbour, it has the sand dunes in front of it so you don't actually see the sea but it is just a short walk there and you are close... 

 Sjalen Says:  Ängelholm's British style pub with live music on Fridays. Summertime, most of the action happens in the main square where the restaurant sets up business, and with something for everyone on the menu (prawn starters, garlic bread, steaks and chips/baked potato, grilled pork,... 

 Sjalen Says:  It is easy to get to Ängelholm, both by the slow train from Gothenburg and regional trains from Malmö and Helsingborg (including some direct connections from Copenhagen too). Next to the station is the bus station if you need further connections. 

 Sjalen Says:  Summertime, a boat trip with Laxen II is a great way to move around. You don't have to take a full sigtseeing tour but can hop off at the heritage park, but if you stay on, it is easily the most scenic way to the beach and back. 

 Sjalen Says:  Of course a seaside town with a good river has to have fish. You need to have a card to be allowed to fish, and this can be bought at the tourist office or by the local taxi company to name a few. It comes in a cheap day version or you can buy for a week, a month or a... 

 Sjalen Says:  One of Scania's if not the south of Sweden's most important bird areas, the Rönne River between Ängelholm town centre and the mouth by the Skälder Bay are a few precious kilometres where you can be spoilt with kingfishers and other rare birds. Important enough to be put on... 

 Sjalen Says:  The Rönne River is one of the best things about Scanian nature in my opinion and I felt so peaceful travelling those few kilometres between town and sea. You can see why they call it the Amazones of Scania and I saw the fallen logs as alligators. That's when I didn't expect...
