Wander to a picturesque small labyrinth made out of stones which was created from an Aseop fable. Drive towards the spectacular botanical garden in Lund. Learn about herbs, and breathe in the fresh air as you walk the trails of greenery. Finally, go to the Lund Cathedral, which is a place to behold.

Start your day with an appetizing breakfast. The tower is pretty near, so you can leave your vehicle here and pick it up later. Depending on the season, you may want a longer breakfast, so the tower is open.

Sofiero Palace
Landmark
Open Details
The royal palace holds its own history as it stands tall in the heavy rainfall since 1865. It has withstood being tossed to many hands as it started out as a Scanian farm and eventually turned into a wedding gift. Nowadays, it has had many big events such as Norah Jones in the garden that has over 500 different species of plants. If you plan on going on a tour, it's best to book that ahead.

Labyrinten Lejonet och råttan
Landmark
Open Details
The stones make a spiral and at first, they look quite ordinary. But if you look closely, you can see that some of the rocks look like lions and rats. Thus the name, 'The Lion and the Rat Labyrinth'. You can read the Aesops fable story that this was based upon below.
Don't forget where you parked your car. Now it's time to head to the next destination.

Lund Cathedral
Landmark
Open Details
By the time you make it to this Cathedral it will be closed. But the views of it are well worth visiting. Take in the beauty of the architecture by the city lights and wander around it. I highly recommend visiting this place when it's open sometime since it has an astronomical clock and a technology inside that you wouldn't believe for its time. Plus, entrance is free, and you can visit the crypts as well.
Open hours:
Monday – Friday: 8:00am – 6:00pm
