Lund

Lund in the southern part of Sweden, is home to the country's second oldest university, which is one of the country's largest. The city also has many high-tech companies.

Lund, and the rest of southern Sweden have oceanic climate. Despite its northern location, the climate is relatively mild compared to other locations in similar latitude, or even somewhat further south, mainly because of the Gulf Stream. Because of its northerly latitude, daylight lasts as long as 17 hours in midsummer, and only around 7 hours in midwinter.

Summers are warm and pleasant with average high temperatures of 22°C (72°F) and lows of around 14°C (57°F), but temperatures do sometimes exceed 25°C (77°F+) and occasional heat waves are common during the summer. Winters are cold, with temperatures steady between -1 to 3°C (30 - 37°F).

Rainfall is light to moderate throughout the year with 169 wet days. Snowfall occurs sparingly, mainly in December through March, but snow cover does not remain for a long time, and Some winters tends to be virtually free of snow.

Lund is certainly small enough to see most of it in an afternoon's walk. You can pick up a city map at the tourist office just across the street from the cathedral.
The local Skånetrafiken buses can get you to most areas of town. The hubs are around the train station, Botulfsplatsen, and the University Hospital (Universitetssjukhuset). Tickets are 15 SEK for as far as you want to go, if you're under 19 it's 8 SEK. If you are traveling as a pair, ask for a Duo ticket to save a few SEK. The best place to catch a cab is by the train station. Right there you can also rent a bike for 20 SEK per day.
