Ystad

Ystad_centre - Stortorget Ystad centre

Ystad is a small but charming city in Scania, or Skåne, part of southern Sweden. It is on the south coast of Scania and has good beaches west and east of the town. Its harbour is a meeting place of ship, train and bus connections. It has a new marina and makes a great base for adventuring the area, as well as Skåne.

The area was first settled in the 12th century, and the town has an attractive medieval centre, and its coastal position, facing Germany across the Baltic, means that it was closely associated with the Hanseatic League, which it joined in the 14th century. It has a medieval church and many half-timbered houses and pleasant pedestrian streets.

Ystad hosts a number of festivals and has a decent art museum, plus a number of other museums and attractions. It is known internationally as the setting for many of the novels of Henning Mankell, featuring fictional Ystad police inspector Kurt Wallander (see Nordic Noir). There are regular Wallander tours in several languages, and even free showings of films in the main square (Stortorget).

What to do in Ystad

• Walk through the old part of the city and enjoy the old half-timbered houses. In the evening eat and drink on the main square or shopping streets, and enjoy the comings and goings of the volunteer fire brigade in their antique vehicles.
• Follow the Wallander trails - if you are a fan of the books or films there are many, many references as Mankell based his material on actual places and situations. If this is to be believed there seems to have been a murder or gruesome incident on almost every corner of the town. In reality the police are hardly ever seen, except when parking up to collect a Burgers order from the stall on Street Knuts Torg, near to the excellent Ystad Tourism Board office within the Art Museum.
• During summer, enjoy a walk by the beach (east of the town). Stop by and grab a cola or ice cream at "Fritidsbaren" and get a good view of the ocean.
• North of the town is a beautiful lake and forest area. Several national parks are found within a short drive.
• Every other year, Ystad hosts a tattoo, a must-see if you are interested in music. See the website for more information.
• Ystad is the perfect base for adventuring south Scania; there's a wealth of places to visit, something for everyone, and the Ystad Tourism Board in town is very helpful.
