Limhamn Travel Guide

 Sjalen Says:  Mr R.F. Berg (1843-1907) has probably done more to the wellbeing and shaping of Limhamn than anyone else. In fact he has done so much that he is known as the Limhamn King. Born in Stockholm and with a technical education, I am not sure how he ended up in Malmö but once here... 

 Sjalen Says:  Ön means "the island" and the name of this artificial island seems a bit unimaginative. Moreover, it is too short to be found easily in the local public transport database! But there is a bus to it :))) And it is a dead easy walk from the centre of Limhamn to Ön, where you... 

 Sjalen Says:  The Limhamn limestone quarry only closed a few years ago and today you can stand at the viewpoint near Limhamn Church and look at what was one of Europe's biggest quarries - equal to 165 football grounds! Heidelberg Cement owns it now and might start a housing development... 

 Sjalen Says:  The core of Limhamn is its old parts around the square and down to the harbour. It is nice to stroll around the Scanian cottages here, in the shadow of the old limeworks and talk to the many cats living here. All Swedish blocks have names too and here each block is, not... 

 Sjalen Says:  Made by famous sculptor Bror Marklund, the Sibbarp Monument reminds me of something other than what it is...but there you go. It is in fact the winning piece in a 1947 competition for a monument in rememberance of all the Danish refugees who were rescued to Malmö during... 

 Sjalen Says:  Nami is housed in the old Limhamn Savings Bank which is history in itself even if it is definately a restaurant these days. It is a place were staff is cheerful and where most food has Japanese influences but fear not if you don't like sushi as there is also other food,... 

 Sjalen Says:  A maritime theme establishment in quaint Limhamn, where locals come for their pint or Sunday meal and where they are asked to eat, drink and be merry. Great food and loads of suitable seaside decorations which remind you of Leith for those of you who know Edinburgh. Cozy... 

 Sjalen Says:  This is a small local bakery and whilst it may not stick out amongst many, it is the relaxed feeling I like (apart from the typical Swedish cakes which are well made). You can of course buy bread and cakes and bring back to the jetty/seaside park to enjoy, but should you... 

 Sjalen Says:  In summer, you can enjoy warm days by the jetties at Sibbarp and swim from them or the pebbly/stony shores. There is also the Sibbarp Bath where you can go for a dip both summer and winter. Yes, the picture here shows the water temperature on a sunny winter's day and yes,... 

 Sjalen Says:  The camp site nearby organises fishing trips, but otherwise this jetty by the "children's bay" just before the Öresund Bridge is a place often full of local fishermen who will know where to go.
