Malmö
This coastal city is connected to Denmark by Öresund bridge that has a road and a railway. It's the third-largest city in Sweden and is known as a college city. My eyes were filled with another world as I explored their city library. Wooden trees sprouted from the floors as you wander to the kids section. What a cool place!

Greyfriars Abbey, Ystad
Landmark
Open Details
You can ponder in the garden or venture through the museum. This place is known as one of the best-preserved medieval monasteries in Sweden. It was given as a gift in 1267 by a knight and his wife and at the time was said to be a friary (a place for friars). This building has been through many hands and was made use of in several different ways. It's interesting learning about its past and venturing through the peaceful garden. As you read more about the past history on the second floor, you'll feel like you're being pulled to that time when the friars were forcibly taken away from the monastery.
