About Lund

Brimming with history and charm, Lund's roots begin during the Viking era and continue through the Middle Ages to today. Half-timbered buildings and narrow stonework streets give Lund a storybook feel. The small town is built around Lund University, the second oldest university in Sweden. With students making up a significant amount of the population, the college town boasts a relaxed and youthful atmosphere. In the evenings, being a university student buys an insider's pass to Lund's real nightlife scene, a boisterous world of club-sponsored events and parties. Lush green spaces, a bicycle culture, and winter sports reflect Swedes' widespread passion for nature.
