In the footsteps of Kurt Wallander

Steakhouse Bryggeriet: Get the peppersteak or the hamburger!
CarlGustaf Says: Located close to downtown Ystad, in Långgatan, within a wooden house with entrance from the yard lies a restaurant gem! If you come early there will not be so many people. The food is high quality and has affordable prices, everyone can join in. Their wine selection is good...
Bryggeriet: Brewery restaurant
Sjalen Says: In the old town maltings, a brewery has been set up and it belongs to my favourite establishments in Sweden just for the ambience. The brewery copper vats are centre pieces in the restaurant which itself is in a half timbered house - all very German looking. In the yard,...
Vendel Ales Stenar: Wonderful organic food on the countryside
UlrikaRu Says: Vendel Ales Stenar is one of the best restaurants in the Scanian region and in all it's fantastic. It's 10 minutes outside Ystad, just by the sea and has the most wonderful atmosphere. I love their barbecue, that they make in summer.
Great service from car hire company
IanL7781 Says: I found the prices and service provided by Hyrbilen, Komtab Biluthyrning, Malmovagen 9, Ystad to be excellent. Half the price Hertz were charging and they drove us back to train station after the car hire period! Telephone 0411-175 00.
Sjalen Says: Trains leave frequently from Malmö and Simrishamn for Ystad. There are also direct trains from Copenhagen to match the Bornholm ferries.
Saluhallen SE Bergh AB: A supermarket in Ystad town centre
gordonilla Says: A normal supermarket - lots to buy inside!
Bokhandeln i Ystad: Wallander's Favourite Bookstore!
gordonilla Says: It was a small but bust book shop - althgough I have to say there were very few Henning Mankell books in the store!
ONOFF: Sound and Video supplies
gordonilla Says: I called into see if I could find any Wallander DVDs - and the answer was yes!
gordonilla Says: This was the location of Wallander's home in the books by Henning Mankell - although the number was never stated, I understand the description matches this apartment block.
Sjalen Says: Marsvin means guinea pig in Swedish but that's not what this castle is about as it also means harbour porpoise in Danish and this used to be a Danish province. Marsvin was the name of a very wealthy Danish noble family. The castle outside Ystad has a lovely rural setting and...
Sjalen Says: Ystad is the perfect place for a stroll. It's too compact to do damage to your feet and yet with hundreds of lovely houses to see. I miss the Brewery; it's food and ambience. I also miss the feeling of being in a busy ferry port.
