Little Falsterbo Museum, at the southern tip of the peninsula, is a pleasing jumble: a small Naturum, old shops and smithies, WWII mines, and the remains of a 13th-century boat. Falsterbo has a long sandy beach that’s popular with locals and Malmo holidaymakers. The sandy hook-shaped island of Maklappen is a nature reserve, off-limits to the public from February to October. There are seals and over 50 species of birds, including little terns, Kentish plovers and avocets; in the autumn, between one and three million migrating birds rest their wings here. Near the museum is Falsterbo Fagelstation, a bird observatory which studies these feathery visitors.
Ljungens Camping: This orderly site is a friendly place a couple of kilometres from alsterbo; amenities include a small creperie. Kust Cafe: Catering to the fashionable city set is this stylish nautical cafe, with excellent coffee, ciabattas, salads, pasta and cakes.

The passing of big hairy men in longboats is one of Sweden’s most interesting and unusual attractions, about 700m north of Hollviken. Vikingareservatet vid Foteviken is unique, an excellent ‘living’ reconstruction of a late-Viking Age village. Entry price includes a highly recommended one-hour guided tour. Around 20 authentic reconstructions of houses with reed or turf roofs have been built on the coast, near to the site of the Battle of Foteviken. These belong to various tradespeople; the town’s jarl, juror and scribe; and the chieftain, whose home has wooden floorboards, fleeces and a Battle of Foteviken tapestry. There’s even a shield-lined great hall known as the Thingholl, and a reconstructed warship and lethally powerful war catapult, which you may get to see fired at the end of our tour. The amazing thing is that this reserve is home to people who live as the Vikings did, eschewing most modern conveniences and following the old traditions, laws and religions even after the last tourist has left! These modern-day Vikings lead visitors on guided tours through their houses and provide an entertaining and insightful glimpse into Viking times. If we visit in early June we can witness warrior training and a re-enactment of the 1134 battle. Viking Week is held in late June, and culminates in a Viking market.

Families and sun-worshipers will love the white-sand beaches at the edges of Falsterbo Peninsula, and ornithologists will enjoy the area’s bird-life. The peninsula also has some real one-off attractions: the unmissable Viking reserve Foteviken, and the weird little amber museum. The area’s major tourist office is just outside Hollviken, near the lifting bridge. Hollviken is a reasonable-sized town with facilities like banks and supermarkets.
Barnstens museum
Trapped in sticky resin 40 million years ago, insects forage, fight, mate and feed in pieces of amber at the Barnstensmuseum. It’s small but interesting; movie buffs might like to know that the museum staff acted as advisers to the makers of Jurassic Park. Beachcombers may find pieces of washed-up amber in this part of Sweden. The museum is near the southern edge of Hollviken.

People work throughout the year to earn money so that they can lead a good life and be happy. Just money can’t bring happiness. Spending time with our family and taking them on a wonderful vacation certainly will bring happiness to the whole family. But, we get chance to go on vacation only twice during a year, the Christmas vacation and the summer vacation. During this part of the year, most of the famous holiday homes will be booked and it is hard to get an accommodation at any tourist destination. So, we have to plan in advance exactly when we are going, when we are going and how we are going for the vacation. Not only this, we also need to plan our period of stay and the perfect holiday home for our stay. If we have these things well planned, we can then proceed to the next step, the implementation of our plan. Our holiday destination mostly depends on the duration of our vacation and also our budget. So we have to be very careful in choosing the destination that meets the two parameters. After deciding the destination, we need to select the place where we are going to stay. The internet is the best source for doing research on this and gather the required information. We can browse through the various holiday homes in our destination and compare the facilities available and the price. After the right holiday home is found, we should never delay in booking the accommodation for our period of stay. We should not wait until the last day to book the accommodation as they will be booked well in advance during the vacation time. We shall then wait for the vacation to come and give our family an unforgettable vacation, the memories of which will remain fresh throughout our life.

Various museums in and around Malmohus slott make up the Malmo Museer. There are cafe-restaurants inside all the museums. The interesting aquarium has a nocturnal hall, as well as coral reefs, brightly coloured tropical fish and representatives of local species such as cod and pike. It was being revamped at the time of writing, so should be even better when you visit! The aquarium is associated with the Naturmuseum, which has typical collections of rocks, stuffed animals and birds. The galleries of Malmo Konstmuseum contain the largest Swedish collection of 20th century Nordic art, and the Stadsmuseum dealsith w the cultural history of Malmo and Skane. The Knight’s Hall has various late-medieval and Renaissance exhibits, such as the regalia of the order of St Knut. The northwest gun tower is intact and atmospheric, with cannons pointing in every direction. On Malmohusvagen, the excellent Teknikens och Sjofartens Hus is a short distance to the west. It’s a technology and maritime museum, with aircraft, vehicles, a horse-drawn tram, steam engines, and the amazing ‘U3’ walk-in submarine, just outside the main building. The submarine was launched in Karlskrona in 1943 and decommissioned in 1967. Upstairs is a superb hands-on experiment room for kids, which will keep them enthralled for ages.

Malmo’s castle has an intriguing history, although not much remains of the older citadels built on the site: today, with its redbrick, functionalist buildings, it looks more like a factory. Some of the Malmo Museer are based inside the castle. Erik of Pomerania built the first fortress here in 1436, to control the growing medieval town and Oresund shipping. This castle was destroyed between 1534 and 1536 during a popular uprising in Skane. In the years immediately after the rebellion, King Christian III of Denmark had the castle rebuilt in forbidding late-Gothic and early-Renaissance styles. The most famous prisoner at Malmohus Slott was the Earl of Bothwell. Bothwell married Mary, Queen of Scots, but was forced to flee from Scotland after she was deposed. On reaching Europe, he was detained by the Danes until his death in 1578. After the Swedish takeover of Skane in 1648, the Danes made a futile attempt to recapture the castle in 1677. When peace was restored, interest in the castle waned and most of it became derelict by the 19th century. A devastating fire in 1870 left only the main building and two gun towers intact. These sections were renovated in 1930.
