Landskrona Travel Guide

 Sjalen Says:  If you've studied the 20 crown notes, you will have seen author Selma Lagerlöf, one of Sweden's own Nobel prize winners, on them. Lagerlöf lived in Landskrona for several years, working as a teacher at this girls' school which now has a plaque on it as she started to write... 

 Sjalen Says:  Landskrona being an old working class town because of the port and wharves, and also close to Denmark, it developed allotments for workers early on. The most impressive ones can be found in the park outside the citadel and there is even a museum in one of them. 

 Sjalen Says:  One of the nicest churches in all Scania in my opinion, this church was only built because the defense area had to expand and therefore the city was moved towards the harbour area. It was build in 1754-88 and is yet another building by Hårleman in Landskrona, showing you the...

 jonkb Says:  A small restaurant above a pub (up a winding staircase). A bit smokey, and no nonsmoking tables. Helstekt svin (pork). Not enough for me to be full, but I gues some eat less than others. 

 Sjalen Says:  Landskrona is the only town in Sweden to still have trolley buses and in this case, they are a new investment. The system was built just a few years ago when the council took the chance to invest in this as the new station was built. Therefore, there are a couple of lines... 

 Sjalen Says:  Landskrona station still exist in the town centre, but no passenger trains stop there. Instead, a new station, looking like a British supermarket, has been built in a field in the middle of nowhere to accommodate the ever faster trains of the modern world. But it is easy...
