Lund is the seat of the Lund Municipality, Skåne County in southern Sweden. It is the country’s second oldest town and is well known as a ‘Cathedral and University city’.

This climate here is much more favourable than in other areas in Sweden. With mild winters and warm summers, any time is ideal for a visit.

Though Lund became an important Roman Catholic centre in the twelfth century, it was badly destroyed by the Danish-Swedish conflicts in the seventeenth century. Thereafter, it was taken over by the Swedes and the University of Lund was set up in 1668.  

With a population of about 90,000, Lund is a bustling activity centre with a variety of businesses. Tetra Pak, the manufacturer of milk/fruit juice cartons, and Sony Ericsson have their production units here. The hospital and the university also employ a large number of people.
